1. O night, O night of love and visions
O meeting place of art! And its divan

2. And O ray of magic, O its spring
And the torch of thought, and its flames

3. O kindler of sedition, gently
And genius of poetry, and its ecstasy

4. You teach the singer his melodies
And inspire the poet his rhythms

5. Your black cloak laid upon
The world, the visions of beauty and its idols

6. O night, O leader of the army of darkness
O hero whose knights are immortalized

7. And miracle that arises what your
Enviers' minds attempted, to deny it

8. And a sign of God in it is a hand...
White... God glorified His praise

9. And O forbearing one, making his sword
His morals the honor, and his faith

10. O Jaffa perfected in the strength
Of the ferocity of murder and its intensity

11. And guardian narrowed its plateau
Of demise, not caring for its cattle

12. In your revered silence, in its tyranny
That the sea does not overlook... and its banks

13. Get rid of (the meaning of evil) or (its symbol)
(Doubt) so mobilize its aides

14. O night, can the creatures deny
You life, and abandon you

15. No, for this is an ungrateful world
A city that delays its judgement

16. O night, this is a rebellious world
In it, man awoke his devil

17. O night, this is a confused world
In it, the rational pounded its drums

18. O night, this is an arrogant world
Its guide the owner of madness

19. Weak predator publicly
The hand of power knitted its shrouds

20. O night, a world has covered us
Wearing no mercy for the bare

21. Our world, O night, with brutal
Eloquence, not caring for its thirsty

22. O night, those who slept in a world
Satiated, ridiculed its hungry

23. If the truth is sought in it virtuously
It would destroy the pillars of injustice

24. Or if the free man risks himself
It permits the tyrant to humiliate him

25. And the helpless armed looted the disgrace
In it, even if its eagles are safe

26. O night, no, for religion is above reasoning
So let the rebel declare his submission

27. The insight of religion, and what else
Returned the lost his certainty

28. It guides us to goodness in its wisdom
It narrates to the flaming heart its burden

29. Supreme is God and hearts settled in Him
Consciences, that inspire its knowledge

30. So it prefers good over its opposite
And seeks God’s forgiveness and pardon
