يَالَيْلَةً طَرِبَتْ بِهَا الأَرْواحُ

وَبِنَشْرِهَا قد طابَتِ الأَرْواحُ

The spirits were delighted on a night

O night in which the souls were filled with rapture!

When it was published, the spirits thrived

And by its spreading fragrance, the gentle breezes grew sweet.

لاَحَتْ بِهَا الأَنْوارُ وَاضِحَةَ السَّنَا

فَغَدَتْ بِهَا ظُلَمُ الأَسَى تَنْزَاحُ

The lights shone clearly with its youth

Within it, lights shone forth with clear brilliance,

So the darkness of sorrow faded away

Causing the shadows of sorrow to vanish away.

قدْ عَمَّهَا نُورُ النَّبِيِّ مُحَمَّدٍ

فَبِنورِهِ هِيَ كُلُّها إصْبَاحُ

The light of Prophet Muhammad has spread

The light of the Prophet Muhammad pervaded it completely,

With his light, it was all illuminated

So through his light, it turned entirely into dawn.

صَلَّى عليهِ اللهُ مَا أَهْدَتْ لَنَا

أَيَّامُ مَوْلِدهِ سَناً يَلْتَاحُ

May God send blessings on him as long as

May Allah bestow blessings upon him, as long as we are gifted,

The days of his birth bring us years of serenity

By the days of his birth, with a brilliance that vividly gleams.
