1. قَد غابَ وَجهُ البَدرِ في

    طَوقِ السَماءِ الأَزرَقِ

    The full moon's face has already vanished into

    the sky's blue collar.

  2. وَبَدا الصَباحُ كَأَنَّهُ

    نُصحُ الصَديقِ المُشفِقِ

    And morning has appeared, as though it were

    a caring friend's counsel.

  3. فَاِشرَب عَلَيهِ وَسَقِّني

    عِنَبِيَّةً كَالزَنبَقِ

    So drink to it, and pour me

    grape wine like the lily.

  4. فَاللَيلُ مِن لَمَعانِهِ

    كَالآبَنوسَ الأَبلَقِ

    For the night, from its gleaming,

    is like piebald ebony.
