1. We passed by the crescent moon over a hill
It had filled the space with its beauty

2. The people and the caravan were yearning for it
Its light illuminates our dwellings and mountains

3. My companions rejoiced and welcomed it
As a king is welcomed at a celebration

4. So I said, wait, did you not remember
That yesterday, a similar one was here, then disappeared

5. I did not see anything on the people's faces
Nor did I see a tear shed for the vanished one

6. So I said, the matter belongs to God Most High
Who changes his creation constantly
