1. أَيَا لَيْلُ أَفْرَطْتَ فِي جَفْوَتِي

    وَعَوَّدْتَنِي مِنْكَ شَرَّ الْخِلالِ

    O night, you have gone too far in your coldness toward me,

    And accustomed me to the worst of your traits.

  2. وَمَا لِيَ ذَنْبٌ وَلَكِنْ شُغِفْتُ

    بِقُرْطِ الثُّرَيَّا وَتَاجِ الْهِلالِ

    And I have done no wrong, but I am enamored

    Of the Pleiades’ earring and the crescent moon’s crown.
