The night as it advances,

And by oath of the night when it recedes

by the night when it journeys on!

Consider the night as it runs its course!

And by the night when it departeth,

And by the night when it departs.

And the night as it recedes.

And the night as it recedes.

And the night as it recedes.

And the night as it recedes.

and the night when it passes!

and by the night when it departs.

And by the night when it departs.

And the night when it departeth,

by the night when it departs!

by the night when it journeys on!

And [by] the night when it passes,

and by the night when it moves on towards daybreak (reward and retribution in the next life is an absolute reality).

And the night when it departs.

Waallayli itha yasri

wa-al-layli idhā yasri

and by the passing night,

And by the Night when it passeth away;-
