وَدُجىً هَتَكتُ قِناعَهُ

وَدُجىً هَتَكتُ قِناعَهُ

عَن وَجهِ طامِسَةٍ خَفِيَّه

عَن وَجهِ طامِسَةٍ خَفِيَّه

And darkness—I tore away its veil

Night casts off his veil

from the face of one obscure and hidden.

From a face concealed and dim,

تَسري كَواكِبُهُ إِلى ال

تَسري كَواكِبُهُ إِلى ال

إِصباحِ وَاللَيلُ المَطِيَّه

إِصباحِ وَاللَيلُ المَطِيَّه

Its stars travel by night toward the

His stars file on to morning

dawn, and night is their mount.

And the dark trots away, trotting.

وَالنَجمُ وَجهُ مُقَبَّلٍ

وَالنَجمُ وَجهُ مُقَبَّلٍ

وَالبَدرُ مِرآةٌ صَدِيَّه

وَالبَدرُ مِرآةٌ صَدِيَّه

And the star is the face of one who is kissed,

The star the kissed face of a star gazer,

and the full moon is a tarnished mirror.

The moon a shining mirror.
