قَد غابَ وَجهُ البَدرِ في

طَوقِ السَماءِ الأَزرَقِ

The moon's face has vanished

Behind heaven's azure ring,

وَبَدا الصَباحُ كَأَنَّهُ

نُصحُ الصَديقِ المُشفِقِ

And dawn appeared as though

A caring friend's advice.

فَاِشرَب عَلَيهِ وَسَقِّني

عِنَبِيَّةً كَالزَنبَقِ

So drink to it, and pour me

Wine red as the iris.

فَاللَيلُ مِن لَمَعانِهِ

كَالآبَنوسَ الأَبلَقِ

The night from its sparks shone like

A bright and flashing mirror.
