لله قلبَا قرينَيْ صبوةٍ قطعَا

ليلَ الرضا سهراً أحلى من الوسنِ

Two hearts cleaved together through devotion

Spending the night of pleasure happier than emaciation

ناما مع الحبِّ يقتادان طاعتَهُ

مُنَزِّهَيْنِ له عن سيّىء الظَّنَنِ

Sleeping with love leading their obedience

Purifying themselves for Him from the evil of suspicions

جسمانِ صارا هوىً مزجا فقلْ حَسنًا

ما شئتَ في قمرٍ يحنو على غُصُنِ

Two bodies turned to passionate love, so speak well

Whatever you wish of a moon leaning on a branch

يا ليلةً لا جحَدتُ الدهرَ مِنَّتَهُ

فيها ولو أنه ما عشتُ أسخطني

O night, I would not deny the world your favor

In it, even if it had not let me live, it would not have angered me
