وأرَّقني واللَّيْلُ قد ذَرَّ ساحَه

وأرَّقني واللَّيْلُ قد ذَرَّ ساحَه

غِناءُ بني سعْدٍ على زِقِّ حازِمِ

غِناءُ بني سعْدٍ على زِقِّ حازِمِ

And I was kept sleepless, while night had spread its expanse,

The night had spread its robe and sleep alluded me

by the singing of the sons of Saʿd over Ḥāzim’s wineskin.

While Sa'd's chant on Hazim's flute was my reverie
