واعجبا من طول ليلي وقدْ

زارَ حبيبٌ فاقَ ظبيَ الفلا
How wondrous, the length of my night—even after
And how strange that my night is so long, though
my beloved visited, surpassing the gazelle of the open wild.
A beloved has visited, surpassing the gazelle of the wilds.

He cast his tresses over the night,
He cast his tresses over the night,
and so the dawn could not enter.
So dawn could not enter.
