إصبر على نوب الليالي
فالدهر مذموم الفعال
Be patient with the vicissitudes of the nights;
Be patient with the ups and downs of nights
for time is blameworthy in its deeds.
For time is full of blameworthy deeds
عباس لا تلم المحب
على التجنب والملال
Abbas, do not blame the lover
Abbas, do not blame the lover
for his avoidance and weariness.
For avoidance and boredom
ولم السواد فإنه
عراك من حلل الجمال
And blame the blackness, for it
Do not blame the darkness, for it
has stripped you of the robes of beauty.
Is a piece of the garments of beauty
فكأنه ليل الصدو
د سطا على صبح الوصال
So it is like the night of estrangement
As if it were the night of intimacy
that has assailed the dawn of union.
Spread over the dawn of union
Sol 6.1
