1. Pour the wine, O Houri,
For the night has darkened,

2. And the roses sleep if they wish,
When the dawn takes breath,

3. And pass the cup, by Allah,
For my heart is not thirsty,

4. The daughter of the vine revives
Every dead one, aye by my Lord!

5. Fear not the inattentive watcher,
And the sleep of the spy,

6. Dawn, O mistress of beauty,
Of perfection and emblem of loyalty,

7. That I may see the eyelash that has
Felled the intoxicated youths,

8. And see the cheek that has
Shamed the rose with its redness,

9. And see the mouth that has
Made the wine pleasant to me,

10. And see the eyelid that has
Torn my heart with its glances,

11. And see the braids that have
Captured the gazelle with their beauty,

12. And see the figure that has
Amazed the branch with its straightness,

13. Embrace me, truly, by Allah,
For after hardship comes ease,

14. My soul is drunk, so is
Your soul, O Eve, also drunk?

15. Life was not pleasant unless
You were in it, so O Houri awaken,

16. You are my mother and father,
You are my intimate and brother,

17. And dance, for the heart between
The wrists has danced,

18. And let us seize, O mistress
Of beauty, the opportunity,

19. Lay your head in my armpits,
Of the one who fears for you,

20. And sleep comfortably, and I am
Obedient to your hands,

21. The birds of the thicket sang,
So when the morning appears,

22. We will sleep a pleasant sleep,
And the dove of the nest will moan,

23. So let us enjoy, that we may drink, O
Solace of the brisk soul,

24. And let the flowers and birds,
If they wish, warble,

25. Whoever saw us, O life
Of the soul, in this garden,

26. Thought us Qays and Layla,
Or Jameel and Buthayna.

27. If you sleep, O maiden,
Then love is eternal,

28. O angel of death, take her
Soul with the soul of the worshipped and worshipper.

29. I am Qays in his love of her,
And she in her love is Layla,

30. Two lovers blended,
And met secretly so the two should be concealed.
