1. Many a night I was disturbed in it
Yet wine did not steal me away
١. وَرُبَّ لَيلٍ طَرِبتُ فيهِ
وَما اِستَرَقَّتنِيَ العُقارُ
2. I awoke from its intoxication but
The vestiges of passion left me confused
٢. صَحَوتُ مِن سُكرِهِ وَلَكِن
بي مِن بَقايا الهَوى خُمارُ
3. I acted ignorantly in it with songs
And such ignorance has dignity
٣. نَجهَلُ فيهِ مَعَ الأَغاني
وَالجَهلُ في مِثلِهِ وَقارُ
4. When the darkness illuminated from us
The night and day embraced
٤. لَمّا اِستَضاءَ الظَلامُ مِنّا
تَعانَقَ اللَيلُ وَالنَهارُ
5. The beloved of my heart visited in it
After the burial ground was avoided
٥. زارَ حَبيبُ الفُؤادِ فيهِ
مِن بَعدِ ما اِستُبعِدَ المَزارُ
6. If hearts become estranged from us
The homes do not come closer to us
٦. إِذا تَناءَت بِنا قُلوبٌ
فَلا تَدانَت بِنا دِيارُ
