When does the full moon rise from the horizon

متى يطلع البدر من أفقه

1. When does the full moon rise from the horizon
When does the one who imprisons it become loose

١. متى يطلعُ البدرُ من أفقهِ
متى قفلُ حابسهِ يَسلُسُ

2. He came to us in haste, his feet unsteady
To take away the dishes without touching them

٢. أتانا على وجلٍ رجلُهُ
تَخُطُّ الصُحونَ ولا تلْمَسُ

3. He wishes, now that his guards are asleep
If only his eyes could be blinded

٣. يَودُّ وقد نامَ حراسُهُ
لو انّ العيونَ له تُطمَسُ

4. So we stayed awake while none other
Than an embrace and the garment of darkness was our dress

٤. فبتنا ولم يكُ غير العناقِ
وغير رِداءِ الدُجى ملبَسُ

5. And he turned away folding his sleeve
While the gathering was fragrant with his scent

٥. وولى يُثنّي لنا عِطفَهُ
وقد طابَ من ريحهِ المَجلِسُ
