1. The cooing of a dove lamenting in the night,
Yearning for a long lost company,
١. وَصَوتِ حَمامَةٍ سَجَعَت بِلَيلٍ
وَقَد حَنَّت إِلى إِلفٍ بَعيدِ
2. Still we implore it, sing your plaint again,
And to the cupbearer - pray, give us more wine!
٢. فَما زِلنا نَقولُ لَها أَعيدي
وَلِلساقي أَلا هَل مِن مَزيدِ
