So indeed I call to witness the evening twilight,

So by oath of the late evening’s light.

No! I swear by the twilight

BUT NAY! I call to witness the sunset's [fleeting] afterglow,

I swear by the afterglow of sunset,

So I swear by the afterglow of sunset;

I swear by the twilight.

I swear by the twilight.

I swear by the twilight.

I swear by the twilight.

So, I do swear by the twilight!

Nay; I swear by the twilight;

But no! I swear by Ash-Shafaq;

Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset,

I swear by the evening glow,

I swear by the twilight;

So I swear by the twilight glow

I do not need to swear by the sunset,

But nay! I swear by the sunset redness,

Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi

falā uq'simu bil-shafaqi

I swear by the glow of sunset,

So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;
