The shining moon, and what did it transgress?

Upon those whose feet remain in the mud

خْرِ الأَصَمِّ يَشُقُّ مَجْراهُ

And the Arabian toads with it

His weapon returned in his right hand

And if the darkness refused, we burned it

His world lofty, and his hereafter

دُنياهُ شامخةٌ وأُخراهُ

Like a pearl star that you meet

كالكوكب الدُّرِّيِّ تَلْقاه

And the moon radiates from his forehead

Of Paradise with Allah, is his abode

Every man is tempted by his nights

The most honorable before him, and the eminent

And on the slaves of earth, his shoes

And for those in the unseen, their station

The white, and pages are their siblings

بيضاءِ والصفحاتُ أشباهُ

The moons of Mecca, may Allah protect it

Except by Allah's leave did we revive it

Not an hour passed before we crushed it

تَكُ ساعةٌ حتى سَحَقْناهُ

Good, the good wished its winds
