وَلَيلة قُمت أُحييها بِهِم فَرحاً
فَعادَso returned فيهاin it شَبابيmy youth ناسِخاًeffacing هَرَميmy old age
فَعادَ فيها شَبابي ناسِخاً هَرَمي
And one night I stayed awake in their company, rejoicing;
And one night when I stayed up to greet them with joy
my youth returned that night, effacing my old age.
My youth returned, erasing my old age
وَقُمتand I rose أَنظرُI look فيtoward أُفقِthe horizon of السّماthe sky فَإِذاand behold
وَقُمت أَنظرُ في أُفقِ السّما فَإِذا
بِأَشهَبِwith the gray steed of الصّبحِdawn يطفيextinguishes أَعينthe eyes of الظُّلَمِthe darkness
بِأَشهَبِ الصّبحِ يطفي أَعين الظُّلَمِ
And I rose to gaze at the sky’s horizon, and behold:
And I stood looking at the horizon of the sky, and there
the gray steed of dawn extinguishing the eyes of darkness.
Was the morning star extinguishing the eyes of darkness
