1. He visited me while dawn was traveling on
And the dark gloom of night was fleeing
١. زارَني وَالصَباحُ قَد سَفَرا
وَظَليمُ الظَلامِ قَد نَفَرا
2. And the armies of stars marched away
And the banner of light was unfurled
٢. وَجُيوشُ النُجومِ جافِلَةٌ
وَلِواءُ الشُعاعِ قَد نُشِرا
3. He came to give the gift of his company in the early morn
Uplifting hearts that were enchanted
٣. جاءَ يُهدي وِصالَهُ سَحَراً
شادِنٌ لِلقُلوبِ قَد سَحَرا
4. So I was certain he was the moon
Just as the night carries the moon
٤. فَتَيَقَّنتُ أَنَّهُ قَمَرٌ
وَكَذا اللَيلُ يَحمِلُ القَمَرا
