1. When the darkness spreads its veil
And Abu Ziyan joins the game
١. إذا الدَّهْماءُ أجْراها
أبو زيَّان في لَعبِ
2. His amulets of fine gold sway
Against her neck in bright acclaim
٢. عَلَيْها مِنْ أعِنَّتِها
تَمائِمُ صِغْنَ مِنْ ذَهبِ
3. "The night is come" the amulets say
"The moon appears, the stars, the same"
٣. تَقُولُ اللَّيْلُ قَدْ وافَى
بِبَدْرِ التَّمِّ والشُّهُبِ
