Let the night drift, slowly it must fade,
Let the night drift, in slumber be swayed.
Slowly, so slowly, let it unwind,
Slowly, so slowly, leave doubts behind.
Let the night drift, time’s fleeting embrace,
What hands cannot hold, in eyes find their space.
What hands cannot hold, in eyes now reside,
This goblet, this measure, where secrets hide.
This goblet, this measure, a lyre’s soft plea,
This saqi’s sweet presence, eternally.

The heart thirsts, alas, and eyes crave more,
The heart thirsts, and longing at the door,
Let the night drift, slowly it must wane,
Slowly, so slowly, easing the pain.
Let the night drift, gently take flight,
Slowly, so slowly, into the night.
Let the night drift, shadows descend,
Slowly, so slowly, towards the end.
Let the night drift, the tavern’s drowned deep,
And yet this night still, its secrets to keep.
The tavern is drowned, the night will not yield,
Emptied the goblets, the story revealed.
Empty all goblets, though none have consumed,
This pain, where to carry, now destined, entombed.
This pain, where to carry, forever to roam,
Let the night drift, slowly back home.
Slowly, so slowly, back to the source,
Let the night drift, follow its course.
Allah Hu, Allah Hu, the spirit’s refrain,
How false is the wealth, the power's domain.
Of name, of lineage, of honor’s frail hold,
Of respect, of virtue, a story untold.
All necks bowed low, in humility’s grace,
Allah Hu, Allah Hu, time and space.
Allah Hu, Allah Hu, in every breath,
Allah Hu, Allah Hu, conquering death.

What a world, so vibrant, where sins now reside,
What a world, so vibrant, where sins will abide.
Millions of colors, scattered and spread,
Millions of colors, a path we must tread.
To fill up our garments, as shadows extend,
No path, no destination, till journey's end.
Let the night drift, its slow cadence play,
Slowly, so slowly, as moments decay.
Let the night drift, as secrets unfurl,
Slowly, so slowly, embracing the world.
Let the night drift, in darkness it thrives,
Slowly, so slowly, where the spirit survives.
Let the night drift, as the stars start to gleam,
Slowly, so slowly, a fading dream.
Let the night drift, let the night softly fade.
