إِذا اللَيلُ أَردَفَ مِن جانِبَيهِ
May the draught of slumber be sweet to your eye,
Congratulations to your eyes, the roses of all
when night presses in from both its sides.
When the night drapes its sides around

Will love be fair to me for once,
Does love treat me fairly for once
and pass my slumber on to his eyes?
To distract my slumber upon my eyelids?

My passion keeps watch over me, so never
My passion is a guardian over me so
does my heart turn toward anyone but him.
My heart inclines towards none but it

He is the full moon: his light reaches me,
It is the moon whose gleam reaches me
and I cannot reach him.
Yet I can't make my way to it
