تَهَجَّدَ مَعشَرٌ لَيلاً وَنُمنا

تَهَجَّدَ مَعشَرٌ لَيلاً وَنُمنا

وَفازَ بِحِندِسٍ مُتَهَجِّدوهُ

وَفازَ بِحِندِسٍ مُتَهَجِّدوهُ

A company kept prayerful vigil at night, and we slept.

A group stayed up late at night while we slept

And in deep darkness, those who kept vigil through it triumphed.

And won a race against those who stayed up

إِلَهُكَ أَوجَدَ الأَشياءَ جَمعاً

إِلَهُكَ أَوجَدَ الأَشياءَ جَمعاً

فَلا يَفخَر بِشَيءٍ موجِدوهُ

فَلا يَفخَر بِشَيءٍ موجِدوهُ

Your God brought all things into being;

Your God created all things together

so let those who make a thing not boast of it.

So none can boast of being its creator

وَرَبُكَ أَنجَدَ الأَقوامَ حَتّى

وَرَبُكَ أَنجَدَ الأَقوامَ حَتّى

بَنى أَعلى القُصورِ مُنَجِّدوهُ

بَنى أَعلى القُصورِ مُنَجِّدوهُ

And your Lord aided the peoples until

And your Lord helped people until

the loftiest of palaces was built by those who adorned it.

Those he helped built the highest palaces

فَمَجِّدهُ فَلَم يَخسَر أُناسٌ

فَمَجِّدهُ فَلَم يَخسَر أُناسٌ

أَنابوا لِلمَليكِ وَمَجِّدوهُ

أَنابوا لِلمَليكِ وَمَجِّدوهُ

So glorify Him, for no people suffered loss

So glorify Him, for no people lost

who turned back to the Sovereign; and glorify Him.

Who turned to the King and glorified Him
