Hazihi Laylati:
haza leelti wahelam hayaati
bein maad min az zamaan waat
alhawa anta kola wal amaani
faamlan alka'as baalgharaam wahaat
bad heen yebdal alhob daaraa
waalasaafeer tahjar al awkaara
wadyaar kaanat qadeema dayaaraa
setraana kama naraaha qafaara
souf telhawa bana alhaya wateskhar
fataala ahebak alaan akthar
waalmasaa azzay tahaada ilaiyna
tham asfa walhob fi maqalteena
laswaal an alhawa wajwaab
wahdeeth yazoub fi shafteena
qad ataal alwaqouf hein daani
leelam al ashwaaq an ajfaani
faadan mani wakhaz ilaik hanaani
tham aghmad ainaik hata taraani
waleekan leilna taweela taweela
faktheer ellaqa kaan qaleela
ya habeebi taab alhawa ma alaina
low hamenla al ayaam fi raahteena
sadfa ahdat alwajoud alleina
wa ataahat laqaana faaltaqeena
fi bahar ta'an feeha aryaah
daa feeha almajdaaf walmalaah
kam azal alfaraaq mana laqa
kol leil iza attaqeena sabaah
ya habeeba qad taal feih sahaadi
ghareeban masaafran bafwaadi
sahar ash shouq fi alayoun aljameela
helm athar alhawa an yateela
wahdeeth fi aljad an lam naqla
awshaf assamat howla an yaqoula
ya habeebi wanta hamri wak'asi
wamna khaatri wabhaja ansi
feek samti wafeek natqi wahamsi
waghdi fi hawaak yasbaq amsi
halla fi leilaty khiyaal annadaama
wannawaasi aanaq alkhayaam
wansaaqwa min khaatri al ahlaam
waahbawa waskarwa al ayaam
rab min ain lilzamaan sabaa
an ghadouna wasabha wamsaa
lan yara elhob badna min hadaa
zahan leil alhawa wanhan dahaa
mal qalbi shouq wamil kiyaani
haza lailati faqaf ya zamaani
