وَالنَجمُ في اللَيلِ البَهيمِ تَخالُهُ

عَيناً تُخالِسُ غَفلَةَ الرُقَباءِ

The star in the dark night seems

An eye that watches the guards' unawareness

وَالصُبحُ مِن تَحتِ الظَلامِ كَأَنَّهُ

شَيبٌ بَدا في لِمَّةٍ سَوداءِ

And dawn under the darkness is as though

Gray hair appeared on a black forelock
