We knew you as a full moon that delights the eyes,

عهدناك بدرا تروق العيون

1. We knew you as a full moon that delights the eyes,
But an eclipse has obscured its rising.

١. عَهِدناكَ بَدراً تُروقُ العُيون
فَأَخفى كُسوفٌ بِهِ مَطلَعَه

2. On your cheek flowed the water of beauty,
Yet the turning of fate has dirtied its stream.

٢. وَجالَ بِخَدِّكَ ماءُ الجَمالِ
فَكَدَّر صَرفُ البِلى مَشرَعَه

3. You were a refuge for the people of passion,
But became a cause of grief for their eyes.

٣. وَكُنتَ لِأَهلِ الهَوى مَفزَعاً
فَصِرتَ لِأَعيُنِهِم مَفزَعَه
