لَيلَتنا لَيلَةٌ لَها نَسَبُ

غُرَّتُها في جَبينِها الأَدَبُ

Our night is a night with lineage

Its pride is on its forehead, etiquette

قَد سَحَّ فيها الغِناءُ وَاِبلَهُ

فَنَبتُ بُستانِها لَنا الطَرَبُ

In it singing has poured and inspired it

So its garden has sprouted joy for us

وَالشَمعُ مِن ضاحِكٍ وَمُبتَسِمٍ

في بِركَةٍ ثَغرُ مائِها الحَبَبُ

And the candle, laughing and smiling

In a pool, its water’s lips beloved

فَيا لَها لَيلَةً كَواكِبَها

مُقتَرَحٌ مِنكُم وَمُنتَخِبُ

Oh what a night, its stars

Chosen and picked out from you

فَاِغتَنِموها فَمِن مَحاسِنِها

أَرضٌ لُجَينٌ نَخيلُها ذَهَبُ

So enjoy it, for among its beauties

A soft land, its palms are gold
