يا لائمي على شرب الدجى ابداً
لقهوةof coffee البنthe coffee bean لوif only بلغتماyou two had learned خبريmy story
لقهوة البن لو بلغتما خبري
O you two who blame me for always drinking in the darkness of night,
O you who blame me for drinking coffee at night,
Coffee from the bean—if only you two knew my story!
If only you knew the news about coffee!

فقد سهرت ومن أدنى منافعها

إعانة العاشق المضنى على السهر
For I have stayed awake, and among its least benefits
For I have stayed up, and among its lowest benefits
Is helping the weary lover stay awake.
Is aiding the exhausted lover in his vigil
