1. خافي إلهَكِ في نَفسٍ قَدِ احتَضَرَت

    قامَت قِيَامَتُها بَينَ المُصَلِّينا

    Fear your God for a soul already in death's throes;

    Its Judgment Day has come among the worshippers.

  2. ما لَيلَةَ القَدرِ مِن هَمِّي فَأطلُبُها

    إنِّي أخَافُ المَنَايا قَبلَ عِشرينا

    The Night of Decree is no concern of mine, that I should seek it;

    Indeed, I fear death before twenty.

  3. يا لَيلَةَ القَدرِ قَد كَسَّرتِ أرجُلَنَا

    يا لَيلَةَ القَدرِ حَقَّاً ما تُمَنِّينَا

    O Night of Decree, you have shattered our legs!

    O Night of Decree, what do you truly promise us?

  4. لا بارَك اللهُ في خيرٍ أُؤَمِّلُهُ

    في لَيلَةٍ بَعدَ ما قُمنَا ثلاثينا

    May God not bless any good I hope for

    On a night after we have stood for thirty.
