يا ليلُ مهما شئتَ طُلْ

يا ليلُ مهما شئتَ طُلْ

لو شاءَ حبي قصَّرَكْ

لو شاءَ حبي قصَّرَكْ

O night, grow as long as you wish.

O night, no matter how long you are

If my beloved wished, he would shorten you.

If my love wished, he would shorten you

ولو رعاني قمري

ولو رعاني قمري

ما كنتُ أرعى قمركْ

ما كنتُ أرعى قمركْ

And if my moon cared for me,

And if my moon tended me

I would not be watching your moon.

I would not tend your moon
