The Night by Abdulrahman Mas'ud

 Oh! you, taker of light That brings forth cool breezes in our yard With the moon illuminated by the sunlight  Making us to shut down our eyes  To children, you are the best period where stories are best told Reading and saying from books that are written in bold Where knowledge is gained and more beneficial than gold To couples who have it for cuddling For kids who love it for playing  For philosophers who use it for meditating  And to youth who use it for studying.
