أرقْتُI lay sleepless كأنِّيas though I were النجمُthe star يجريcourses ويكنسُand hides
أرقْتُ كأنِّي النجمُ يجري ويكنسُ
مدىthroughout ليلتيmy night أنْضُوI cast off دُجَاهاits darkness وألبسُand I put on
مدى ليلتي أنْضُو دُجَاها وألبسُ
I lay sleepless, as though I were the star that courses and hides;
Throughout my night, I cast off its darkness and put it on.
