1. نَامَ مَن نامَ وانفردْتُ بِهَمّي

    أَينَ أَهلي يا لَيْلُ والأصدقاءُ

    Those who slept have slept, and I am alone with my sorrow.

    Where are my family, O night, and my friends?

  2. ما أظُنُّ الصَّباحَ حَيًّا فَيُرْجَى

    لَكَ يا لَيْلُ في الصَّباحِ البَقاءُ

    I do not think morning is alive, that one might hope for it;

    May you live on, O night, after morning's passing.
