لَيالٍ ما تُفيقُ مِنَ الرَزايا

لَيالٍ ما تُفيقُ مِنَ الرَزايا

فَوَيحي مِن عَجائِبِها وَوَيبي

فَوَيحي مِن عَجائِبِها وَوَيبي

Nights that find no respite from calamities;

Nights that do not awaken from afflictions,

So woe to me for their wonders, and woe to me!

Alas for its wonders that make me cry out.

أَعادَت أُسدُها أَسَداً أَكيلاً

أَعادَت أُسدُها أَسَداً أَكيلاً

وَأَودى ذِئبُها بِأَبي ذُؤَيبِ

وَأَودى ذِئبُها بِأَبي ذُؤَيبِ

Their lions turned a lion into prey,

Its lions have become ferocious lions again,

And their wolf brought death to Abu Dhu'ayb.

And its wolves have killed my father Dhuwayb.
