1. يا حُسْنَنا نَحْنُ في لَهْوٍ ولَيْلَتُنا

    بِزَهْرِ أَنْجُمِها تُرْمى العَفاريتُ

    How lovely we are, at play, while in our night

    Demons are pelted with the blossoms of its stars.

  2. وقَدْ تَضايَقَ في السُّكْرِ العِناقُ بِنا

    كَما تَضايَقَ في النَّظْمِ اليَواقيتُ

    And in drunkenness our embrace has tightened around us,

    As rubies press close together on a string.
