1. وَلَيْلٍ جَمَعْنَا فِيهِ أوْصَافَ رَوْضَةٍ

    تَرُوقُ إذاَ مَا شُبِّهَتْ لِذَوِي النَّظَرْ

    And a night in which we gathered the qualities of a garden

    that delights discerning eyes when portrayed through likenesses:

  2. فَنَيِّرُنَا وَالزُّهْرُ وَالبَحْرُ وَالدُّجَى

    وَمَالِكُنَا وَالصَّحْبُ وَالرَّوْضُ وَالْمَطَرْ

    Thus our luminary, the bright stars, the sea, and the darkness,

    and our master, the companions, the garden, and the rain,

  3. غَدِيرٌ وَرَيْحَانٌ وَرَوْحٌ وَنَرْجِسٌ

    وَشَمْسٌ وَأفْقٌ وَالْكَوَاكب وَالدُّرَرْ

    are a pool, sweet basil, refreshment, and narcissus,

    and a sun, a horizon, the stars, and the pearls.
