1. The darkness of night twisted with the dawn, unjust
Until the light appeared and the veil was lifted
١. تَلَوَّى ظَلاَمُ اللَّيْلِ بِالصُّبْحِ ظَالِماً
إِلَى أَنْ تَبَدَّى الضَّوْءُ وَانْقَشَعَ الْحَلَكْ
2. As the sullen slave stole a turban
So the ruler of fate brought it out from under him
٢. كَمَا سَرَقَ الْعَبْدُ الْعَبُوسُ عِمَامَةً
فَأّخْرَجَهَا مِنْ تَحْتِهِ حَاكِمُ الْفَلَكْ
