How lovely we are! We are at play, and our night—
With the blossoms of its stars, the demons are pelted.
وقَدْand indeed تَضايَقَhas grown tight فيin السُّكْرِdrunkenness العِناقُthe embrace بِناaround us
وقَدْ تَضايَقَ في السُّكْرِ العِناقُ بِنا
كَماjust as تَضايَقَhave crowded together فيin النَّظْمِthe stringing اليَواقيتُthe rubies
كَما تَضايَقَ في النَّظْمِ اليَواقيتُ
And in drunkenness the embrace has grown tight around us,
Just as rubies crowd together when strung.
