أَوقِد فَإِنَّ اللَيلَ لَيلٌ قَرُّ

أَوقِد فَإِنَّ اللَيلَ لَيلٌ قَرُّ

وَالريحَ يا موقِدُ ريحٌ صِرُّ

وَالريحَ يا موقِدُ ريحٌ صِرُّ

Light the fire, for the night is a cold night.

Kindle the fire, for the night is cold

And the wind, O fire-kindler, is a bitterly cold wind.

And the wind, O kindler, is biting cold

عَسى يَرى نارَكَ مَن يَمُرُّ

عَسى يَرى نارَكَ مَن يَمُرُّ

إِن جَلَبَت ضَيفاً فَأَنتَ حُرُّ

إِن جَلَبَت ضَيفاً فَأَنتَ حُرُّ

May whoever passes by see your fire.

May he who passes see your fire

If it brings a guest, then you are free.

If you bring a guest, you are free
