Bamalon hashomer she'hu gam hasho'er
mevakesh lo pachot lo yoter
im nasa lecha chish mizvadot min hak'vish
shetodah lo al kach bebakshish.

Zeh hanoheg mushrash hu kim'at mukdash
bil'adav shum davar lo yuchash

Lailah beKahir
homah kol ha'ir
begrosh manah shel poul
kafeh im "hal" mahul
vekef al ha"toul"
asher mavchin kalul.

Im ata me'unyan, bo lir'ot zeh hazman
rakdanit berikud mesugnan
litz'lilei kinorot anashim bim'cholot
hacholkim mechem'ot mishtarot.

Ufaneihem tzohalim lo miyayin
ki im min haketzev umin hashirim

Lailah beKahir...
