1. O moon that I saw in a funeral assembly
Are you from Paradise or are you a mortal
١. يا قَمَراً أَبصَرتَ في مأتَمٍ
أَنتَ مِنَ الفِردَوسِ أَو أَنتَ مَن
2. I implored you, O Merciful, with fervent passion
To you I confided the secret of love in confidence
٢. ناشَدتُكَ الرَحمَن في والِهٍ
إِلَيكَ عَن سرّ الهَوى مؤتَمَن
3. Your eyes have done to his heart
What spearheads did to Rustam's breast
٣. قَد فَعَلَت عَيناكَ في قَلبِهِ
ما فَعَلَ الصَمصامُ في رُستُمَن
4. So let the souls of his enemies ransom him
Do not delay your promise to him or refuse
٤. فَعِدهُ تَفديكَ نُفوسُ العِدا
وَلا تُماطِل وَعدَهُ أَو تَمُن
