راحٌ إِذا جُلِيَت في اللَيلِ مُعتَكِراً

Wine that, when unveiled in the night’s thick darkness,
When the night is unveiled in darkness
turns the night to morning as it pours forth.
The night restores morning when it pours forth
تَكادُalmost مِنهاfrom it يَدُthe hand الساقيthe cupbearer إِذاwhen بُزِلَتit is drawn off
تَكادُ مِنها يَدُ الساقي إِذا بُزِلَت
لَولاwere it not for المَزاجُthe dilution مِنَfrom الأَنوارُthe lights تَلتَهِبُit blazes
لَولا المَزاجُ مِنَ الأَنوارُ تَلتَهِبُ
When drawn off, it would almost set the cupbearer’s hand
Were it not for the admixture of lights that blaze
ablaze with light, were it not for its dilution.
The pourer's hand would almost spill from it
