1. In a December night I felt the passion,
Were it not for the morning breeze, its darkness would prevail,
١. بِلَيْل كَانُونٍ عَرَفْتُ الْجَوَى
لَوْلاَ صَبَا لَكَفَّ مِنْ ظَلْمِهِ
2. The morning breeze blew on it,
And the dawn was kindled amidst its ashes.
٢. طَالَ بِهِ نَفْحُ نَسِيمِ الصَّبَا
فَاشتَعَلَ الإِصْبَاحُ فِي فَحْمِهِ
