I speak from the deep of night.

من از نهايت شب حرف مىزنم

From the deep of dark

من از نهايت تاريكى

And the deep of night, I speak:

و از نهايت شب حرف مىزنم

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

اگر به خانۂ من آمدى براى من اى مهربان چراغ بيار

And a window from which

و يك دريچه كه از آن

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

به ازدحام كوچۂ خوشبخت بنگرم
