رَكِبتُ أَعجازَ لَيالٍ مُظلِمَه

رَكِبتُ أَعجازَ لَيالٍ مُظلِمَه

مُطَرَّزاتٍ بِالصَباحِ مُعلَمَه

مُطَرَّزاتٍ بِالصَباحِ مُعلَمَه

I rode the hindquarters of dark nights,

I rode the backs of darkened nights

Embroidered and bordered with dawn.

Embroidered with daybreak landmarks.

أَخطَرُ في بُردَتِها المُسَهَّمَه

أَخطَرُ في بُردَتِها المُسَهَّمَه

وَالرَوضُ في حُلَّتِهِ المُنَمنَمَه

وَالرَوضُ في حُلَّتِهِ المُنَمنَمَه

I stride proudly in their arrow-patterned mantle,

I ventured through its perforated chill,

While the meadow wears its finely patterned robe.

And the meadow in its ornamented gown -

قَد نَثَرَ اللَيلُ عَلَيهِ أَنجُمَه

قَد نَثَرَ اللَيلُ عَلَيهِ أَنجُمَه

وَالنَبتُ قَد دَنَّرَهُ وَدَرهَمَه

وَالنَبتُ قَد دَنَّرَهُ وَدَرهَمَه

Night has scattered its stars upon it,

The night had strewn its stars upon it,

And the plants have decked it with dinars and dirhams.

And vegetation had adorned it with coins.
