ليلة للعيونِ فيها وللأس
ماعِ ما للقلوبِ والآمالِ
A night in which eyes and ears enjoy
A night in which the eyes and ears have
what hearts and hopes enjoy.
What the hearts and hopes have;
نُظِمَت للنِّدامِ فيها الأماني
مثل نَظمِ الأميرِ شمسِ المعالي
Therein wishes were strung for the boon companions,
In it, wishes were strung together for the boon companions,
like the verse of the emir Shams al-Maʿali.
Like the verse of Prince Shams al-Ma‘ali.
Sol 6.1
