كم مطمئن في عزته أخذه بعزته بياتا،
How many, secure in their pride, did He take by His might overnight,
بَيَاتًا — overnight. This noun is in the accusative, working as a time-adverb meaning 'by night / overnight', which is Arabic's way of folding a 'when' sense into a single accusative noun. So the ending itself supplies the timing, stressing how suddenly and unawares the seizing came.
