1. O you who stripped the moon of its beauty
You clothed me in the garb of sadness
١. يا سالباً قَمَرَ السّماء جَمالَهُ
ألبَستَني للحزْنِ ثوبَ سمائِهِ
2. You set my heart aflame and it flung out sparks
That fell upon your cheek and were quenched by its water
٢. أضرَمْتَ قلبي فارتمى بشرارةٍ
وَقَعَتْ بخدّكَ فانطَفَتْ من مائِهِ
