تَلَوَّى ظَلاَمُ اللَّيْلِ بِالصُّبْحِ ظَالِماً

إِلَى أَنْ تَبَدَّى الضَّوْءُ وَانْقَشَعَ الْحَلَكْ
Night’s darkness coiled around the dawn, unjustly,
The darkness of night twisted with the dawn, unjust
Until the light appeared and the blackness cleared away,
Until the light appeared and the veil was lifted
كَمَاjust as سَرَقَstole الْعَبْدُthe slave الْعَبُوسُthe scowling عِمَامَةًa turban
كَمَا سَرَقَ الْعَبْدُ الْعَبُوسُ عِمَامَةً
فَأّخْرَجَهَاthen drew it out مِنْfrom تَحْتِهِbeneath him حَاكِمُruler الْفَلَكْthe firmament
فَأّخْرَجَهَا مِنْ تَحْتِهِ حَاكِمُ الْفَلَكْ
Just as the scowling slave stole a turban,
As the sullen slave stole a turban
Then the ruler of the firmament drew it out from beneath him.
So the ruler of fate brought it out from under him
