1. O night, your darkness imprisons me
And the majesty of your stillness renders me speechless

2. And stirs the heart's anxieties
Inflaming it and inflaming me

3. The devil tries to tempt me
But he cannot successfully whisper to me

4. So I defy him and wrestle with him
And repel him when he tries to enchain me

5. And I battle him and struggle against him
And the constant remembrance protects me

6. So I abandon sleep and shun it
In the space between drowsiness and wakefulness

7. And I strengthen my heart with its Creator
And the awe of majesty consoles me

8. And if I fall asleep exhausted
The Messenger of Allah senses me

9. And extends his palm, I shake his hand
And turn it over when he touches me

10. So I feel mercy envelop me
And the warm remembrance whispers to me

11. And the tenderness of prostration lifts me
On the Day of Judgement and dresses me

12. In the garment of faith, so I have no fear
That my Lord will shortchange me

13. O night, your standing in prayer is a school
Wherein the Quran teaches me

14. The meaning of sincerity, so I adhere to it
A path to Paradise that protects me

15. And shows me how the world
With deceptive hopes immerses me

16. Like a chameleon that changes its colors
With sin it tries to erase me

17. So I distance myself from it and defy it
And watch it make me doubt

18. Thus I strengthen my heart with its Creator
And the constant remembrance guards me
