1. O Lord of a night I have enjoyed
The full moon comes to me with his cup
١. يا رُبَّ لَيلٍ قَد نَعِمتُ بِهِ
يَسعى عَلَيَّ بِكَأسِهِ البَدرُ
2. In a narcissus flower, its eyes are tender
Between the eyelids, their eyes are yellow
٢. في نَرجِسٍ غَضٍّ نَواظِرُهُ
بَينَ الجُفونِ عُيونُها صُفرُ
3. So when the gossip went to the winds
Between them, patience betrayed them
٣. فَإِذا النَميمَةُ لِلرِياحِ جَرَت
ما بَينَهُنَّ وَخانَها الصَبرُ
4. It stayed for an embracer and a separator
Contentment comes near and separation helps
٤. ظَلَّت لِمُعتَنِقٍ وَمُفتَرِقٍ
يُدني الرَضى وَيُساعِدُ الهَجرُ
5. It filled its cities with sand so you see
Their necks bent under its weight
٥. مَلَأَت مَدائِنَها ثَرىً فَتَرى
أَعناقَها مِن ثِقلِهِ صُغرُ
6. Spring showed its direction with its heavy rain
It delighted the land so its interior surfaced
٦. أَبدى الرَبيعُ بِصَوبِ وابِلِها
سَرَّ البِلادِ فَبَطنُها ظَهرُ
