When you stay up at night thinking,

إذا بت والفكر تستخرجان

1. When you stay up at night thinking,
You find the key to unlock a difficult matter.

ن مفتاح أمر عسير الغلق

2. And you prefer the matter of knowledge,
Over every delicate necklace.

٢. وأنت لأمر العلا مؤثرٌ
على كل ناعمة المعتنق

3. And dawn has shown you clearly,
Your radiant opinion and daybreak.

٣. وأبدى لك الصبح عن واضحي
نِ رأيك منبلجاً والفلق

4. So your morning is for Allah, what has it uncovered?
And your night is for Allah, what has it brought?

ولله ليلك ماذا وسق

A profitable trader, so it does not burden him.

٥. وإما أجرت من الحادثا
ت جاراً فليس عليه رهق

Having girded himself from turbulence and set forth.

تأزَّر من لجة وانطلق

7. His hands have clung to the ties,
With which Allah has protected those bonds.

٧. وقد عَلِقَت قبضتاه عُرى
بها عصم الله تلك الوُثَق

8. Is there a way to one like him?
Allah has refused that, for those He created.

أبى الله ذاك على من خلق

9. So be like him, O son of the kings of rule,
For gentleness is the increase of amiability.

ك لهو المجالس زاد الرُّفَق
