1. وَلَيلٍ ظَلَلنا فيهِ نعمَل كَأسَنا

    إِلى أَن بَدَت لَلصُّبحِ في اللَيلِ أَعمالُ

    And one night we kept our cup at work,

    Until dawn's deeds appeared in the night.

  2. وَوَلَّت نُجومُ اللَيلِ تَجري هَزيمَةً

    وَجاءَ مَعَ الإِصباحِ نَصرٌ وَإِقبالُ

    And the stars of night turned away, running in defeat,

    And with daybreak came victory and good fortune.

  3. فَقَضَّيتُ مِن هَذا وَذاكَ لُبانَةً

    وَثَمَّ لَنا فَتحٌ مُبينٌ وَآمالُ

    So through this and that I fulfilled a longing,

    And there we had a clear victory and hopes.
