My drinking companion, take the lamp away from me,
My friend, count with the lamp for me
and pay it no heed on a night of conviviality.
And do not mind it on a night of intimacy

فَلَستُ أَخافُ أنْ يدجو ظلامٌ

عَلَيّ وَقَهوَتي في الليلِ شمسي
For I do not fear that darkness will deepen
For I do not fear that darkness will prevail
over me, while my wine is my sun at night.
Upon me, my coffee at night is my sun
