أَتاكَ بيَ اللَّهُ الَّذي فَوقَ مَن تَرى

وَخَيرٌ وَمَعروفٌ عَليكَ دَليلُ

God brought you to me, He who is above all we see

Goodness and kindness are proof of your virtue

وَمَطويَةُ الأَقرابِ أَما نَهارُها

فَسَبتٌ وأَما لَيلها فَذَميلُ

Though kin may turn their backs, their days barren

Their nights yet cherished, nurtured within

وَقطعي إِلَيك اللَّيلَ حِضنَيه إِنَّني

لِذاكَ إِذا هابَ الرِّجالُ فَعولُ

I cross the dark night to be at your side

When men retreat, I remain resolved
