أقول لصاحبى والراح روحى

لجسم الكأس فى كف النديم

I say to my companion as the wind is the soul

Of the cup's body in the reveler's palm

وقد حبس الدجى عنا بواك

تسيل نفوسها فوق الجسوم

And the darkness has veiled us in its corners

Their souls pouring above the bodies

ونحن من المسرة فى سماء

فمن سارى الضياء ومن مقيم

As we are intoxicated in a sky of delight

So who is departing, who is staying

شموعك والكؤوس مع الندامى

نجوم فى نجوم فى نجوم

Your candles and cups with the penitents

Are stars within stars within stars
