وَلَيل بِهِ زارَ وَالكونُ ضاء

وَلَيل بِهِ زارَ وَالكونُ ضاء

بِأَنوارِهِ وَهيَ ساطِعةُ

بِأَنوارِهِ وَهيَ ساطِعةُ

And one night he visited, and the universe shone

A night with him has visited, and the universe shone

With his lights, shining brightly.

With its lights, radiant

بَدا صُبحُهُ وَهوَ مُنفَلق

بَدا صُبحُهُ وَهوَ مُنفَلق

وَأَنوارُهُ مِنهُ لامِعةُ

وَأَنوارُهُ مِنهُ لامِعةُ

Its dawn appeared, breaking forth,

Its dawn has emerged, split open

And its lights gleamed from it.

And its lights from it, shining

فَلِلصّبحِ قلتُ أَلا تَستَحي

فَلِلصّبحِ قلتُ أَلا تَستَحي

وَتَطلعُ وَالشّمسُ طالعةُ

وَتَطلعُ وَالشّمسُ طالعةُ

So I said to dawn, “Are you not ashamed

So to the dawn I said, do you not feel shy

To rise while the sun is already up?”

To rise while the sun is rising
