Many a night have I kept company with, downcast
Lord of a gloomy night whose company depressed my mind
in spirit, sorrowful, a companion to scattered cares,
A troubled ally of scattered cares
مؤنِساًgiving companionship ربعهits abode بِطولwith the length of أَنينيmy moaning

وَهُوَ لي موحش بِطول السُكوتِ
Keeping its abode company with my long moaning,
His long groaning was my companion in his quarter
while it makes me lonely with its long silence,
Yet to me he was lonely in his long silence
