1. وَلَيل بِهِ زارَ وَالكونُ ضاء

    بِأَنوارِهِ وَهيَ ساطِعةُ

    A night with him has visited, and the universe shone

    With its lights, radiant

  2. بَدا صُبحُهُ وَهوَ مُنفَلق

    وَأَنوارُهُ مِنهُ لامِعةُ

    Its dawn has emerged, split open

    And its lights from it, shining

  3. فَلِلصّبحِ قلتُ أَلا تَستَحي

    وَتَطلعُ وَالشّمسُ طالعةُ

    So to the dawn I said, do you not feel shy

    To rise while the sun is rising
