شُرِّفتَ بِالأَمسِ بِنَقلِ الخُطى

حَتّى اِنقَضَت لي لَيلَةٌ صالِحَه

You were honored yesterday by the transfer of steps,

Until for me a wholesome night passed away.

فَعُد بِها حَتّى تَقولَ الوَرى

ما أَشبَهَ اللَيلَةَ بِالبارِحَه

So return with it until the people say:

How this night resembles last night!
