إِنّ اِجتَماعَ القَومِ في ساعَةٍ
لَيلاً مِنَ الصّفوِ يُعدُّ اِختِلاسْ
Indeed, when the company gathers for an hour
amid nights of beauty, it is reckoned a stolen moment;
وَكَيِّس القَومِ الّذي لَم يَنَم
وَبارد القَومِ كَثيرِ النّعاس
the shrewd one among them is he who has not slept,
and the dullard among them is much given to drowsiness.
