1. I see him like the crescent moon
His face shining bright
١. أَيتُهُ كَالهِلالِ يَبدو
وَوَجهُهُ مُشرِقٌ بِلالا
2. Breaking his promise to me
Never once saying "yes" to me
٢. مُخالِفٌ مُخلِفٌ لِوَعدي
ما قالَ يَوماً نَعَم بِلالا
3. Never once soothing my heart's torment
Though all the people call him "yes"
٣. ما بَلَّ يَوماً غَليلَ قَلبي
وَإِن دَعاهُ الوَرى بِلالا
4. I called him "my master" one day
Yet in this life he never called me
٤. دَعَوتُهُ سَيِّدي وَيَوماً
في الدَهرِ لَم يَدعُني بِلالا
