وَزَهْراً وَخَفْضُ العَيْشِ كَانَ بها نَصْبًا
And a night of delight, from which I gained violets
And a night of intimacy from which I picked
And blossoms—and life's ease that night was toil.
Violets and roses, while life's trouble was poured out as water
كَأنَّas though دُجَاهَاits darkness وَالثريَّاand the Pleiades وَقَدْand already بَدَتْappeared
كَأنَّ دُجَاهَا وَالثريَّا وَقَدْ بَدَتْ

As though its darkness and the Pleiades, which had appeared
As if its darkness, Pleiades and the crescent moon rising
To us, while the horizon's crescent brought them near
Were revealed to us, bringing the horizon near
