ليالي نجد ما مثلك ليالي

غلاك اول وزاد الحب غالي

Nights of Najd, none like you, nights

Your love was dear at first, and love grew dearer

ليالي نجد للمحبوب طيبي

امانه نور عيني يا ليالي

Nights of Najd, so gentle for the beloved

You were entrusted to me, light of my eyes, oh nights

حبيبي ولا ذكرت انه حبيبي

دريت اني حظيظ وزان بالي

My love - if I remembered he was my love

I knew I was fortunate, my mind at ease

على شانه تهاونت المصاعب

اذوق المر لَجل رضاه حالي

On his shoulder, hardships seemed easy

I taste the bitter for his happiness today

وإلى من الزمان اشتد حره

لقيت بقرب مضنوني ظلالي

And when time grew harsh

I found shade in his cherished nearness

عفا الله عنه مما جاني اول

غسل حبّه جميع الهم تالي

God forgive him for what came first

His love washed away all subsequent sorrow
