نبه الليل بالوجيف ولا تو

لع بدار الهوان بالأغماض

The night awoke with darkness, do not blame it

It took shelter in the house of disgrace, in deep sorrow

وأقر ضيف الهموم كل أمون

عنتريس وباز شرواض

And settled the guest of worries, every shelter

Intertwined, and Paz a rover

أنقذتني من الردى وطأتي البي

د ونقص الهموم بالأنقاض

You saved me from ruin, and trod my hand

And reduced worries into rubble

شكلها كتالقسي وهي سهامٌ

للفلا والرغاء كالأنباض

It looks like a bow, and it is arrows

For entertainment and joy like fountains

خلتها حين خاضت الليل سبحا

غمست من دجاه في خضخاض

You left it when it crossed the night swimming

It dipped from its darkness in turmoil

صدعت عرمض الدياجر حتى

كرعت في ماء الصباح المفاض

It cracked the armor of darkness until

It nibbled in the water of the flowing dawn

حين راع الظلام وخط مشيب

قد سرى في سواده ببياض

When the darkness shepherded and a gray line

Had spread in its blackness with whiteness
