The Night (el-Lelia)

I.
1. Night, oh night, oh God’s night
... night ... oh, night
2. If I bought the girls.
... I remember the girl.
3. Oh, it is nothing...
4. Above the man’s road the horseman I call
5. Over the generous every day
6. Rises...
7. Night, oh night, oh God’s
... night,
... night,
... oh night
8. You are patient with patience of Hiob
... and over me, the miserable
8. The prison of Joseph, the prison of the stomach ...
9. And of the place...

II.

1. I saw the pay of Adam and I ate it from
2. The foolishness
3. Night oh night, Allah,
... night oh night
4. The time withdrew me like it withdraws an orphan
5. But I was thankfull to the God
and I was patient
... because of all miserable things
6. And I kept my secret silent
7. The love is hitting me with a burning stick
