طابَت لَنا لَيلَتُنا الخالِيَه

فَلتُنسِناها هَذِهِ التالِيَه

Our empty night has been delightful,

So let this next night make us forget it.

أَبا المَعالي نَحنُ في راحَةٍ

فَانقُل إِلَينا القَدَمَ العالِيَه

O father of greatness, we are at leisure-

Come to us on your exalted feet.

لَيلَتُنا عاطِلَةٌ إِن تَغِب

عَنّا فَزُرنا كَي تُرى حالِيَه

Our night is wasted if you are absent-

Visit us, that you may see our state.

أَنتَ الَّذي لَو تُشتَرى ساعَةٌ

مِنهُ بِدَهرٍ لَم تَكُن غالِيَه

You, if an hour with you were bought

With an age, it would not be too great.
