1. O crescent moon in your slendering
And rod in your bending
١. يا هلالاً في تجنِّيهِ
وقضيباً في تَثنِّيهِ
2. He whom I do not name
But only hint at
٢. والذي لسْتُ أُسمِّي
هِ ولكنِّي أُكنّيهِ
3. Stately, whom eyes cannot resist
Seeing him from his hills
٣. شادنٌ ما تَقْدرُ العيْ
نُ تراهُ من تَلاليهِ
4. Whenever faced by a person
He saw his image in him
٤. كلَّما قابلَهُ شخ
صٌ رأى صُورتَهُ فيهِ
5. For even if an atom walked on him
It nearly crumpled him
٥. لانَ حتى لو مَشى الذَّرْ
رُ عليهِ كادَ يُدْميهِ
