من از نهايت شب حرف مىزنم

I speak from the deep of night.

من از نهايت تاريكى

From the deep of dark

و از نهايت شب حرف مىزنم

And the deep of night, I speak:

اگر به خانۂ من آمدى براى من اى مهربان چراغ بيار

Should you come to my house, friend, bring me a lamp

و يك دريچه كه از آن

And a window from which

به ازدحام كوچۂ خوشبخت بنگرم

To gaze at the crowds cavorting down in the glad alley.
