فمزّق الليل وأبدى السعودْ
Drink by the light of a day that has dawned,
Drink in the glow of dawning light unveiled,
tearing the night apart and revealing good fortune;
Tearing night's veil, the dawn its charm exhaled,
كأنّهas though it فيin نورهits light لابسٌwearing
كأنّه في نوره لابسٌ
نورَthe radiance of الثناياthe front teeth واحمرارَand the redness of الخدودthe cheeks
نورَ الثنايا واحمرارَ الخدود
as though, in its radiance, it were wearing
As though clothed in its light, vividly bright,
the gleam of front teeth and the blush of cheeks.
Cheeks blushing red, folded robes light pale.
