لَنا لَيلة بِالسَعد آياتها بَدَت

لَنا لَيلة بِالسَعد آياتها بَدَت

سُروراً فَخلنا أنَّها لَيلة القَدرِ

سُروراً فَخلنا أنَّها لَيلة القَدرِ

Ours was a night whose signs appeared with good fortune,

A night has come to us, and its signs appear to be auspicious

bringing joy, so we thought it was the Night of Decree.

So we felt that it was Lailat al-Qadr

حَكَت فَلكاً بِالزُهر يَزهو وَبَدرها

حَكَت فَلكاً بِالزُهر يَزهو وَبَدرها

بِأُفق العُلى شَيخ الشُيوخ أَبو النَصرِ

بِأُفق العُلى شَيخ الشُيوخ أَبو النَصرِ

It resembled a firmament radiant with stars, and its full moon

The sky was adorned with radiant stars

at the horizon of glory was the sheikh of sheikhs, Abu al-Nasr.

And its full moon rose in the high horizon, the sheikh of sheikhs, Abu al-Nasr
