1. يا ليلةً مِن ليالي الطَيِّباتِ بِها

    في دارِ عَبَّاسَ نورُ الحُسنِ قد طَلَعا

    O night among the nights of delight, in which

    The light of beauty has risen in Abbas’s house.

  2. قد غابَ فيها ضِياءُ الشَّمسِ عن فَلَكٍ

    لكن بتأريخِهِ في أرضِنا لَمعَا

    That night, the sun’s radiance had vanished from a celestial sphere,

    Yet through its chronogram it shone upon our earth.
