وكم ظلَّ مدلجاً نحو لذَّةٍ
وليل الأسى وحفُ الهيادب داجِ
And how often he kept journeying by night toward pleasure,
While sorrow's night was dark, its trailing fringes thick.
فأهديتهُ إلي المنى وهديتهُ
وما ضلَّ سارٍ يهتدي بسراج
So I brought him to his desires and guided him,
And no night traveler goes astray when guided by a lamp.
