1. I sacrifice myself for Muhammad at every rise or set
O moon of the sky, you have descended so low
١. فديتُ محمَّداً من كلِّ سُوِّ
يُحاذرُ في رواحٍ أو غدوٍّ
2. As if you were weary of the heights
I saw you distanced from your beloved
٢. أيا قَمرَ السَّماءِ سَفلتَ حتَّى
كأنَّكَ قد ضَجِرتَ من العُلوِّ
3. And approached by one who does not love you
It should suffice as regret for you from a lover
٣. رأيتُكَ من حبيبكَ ذا بِعادٍ
ومِمَّن لا يُحبُّكَ ذا دُنوِّ
4. That I saw his reins in the hands of an enemy
٤. وحَسبُكَ حَسرةً لكَ من حَبيبٍ
رأيت زِمامَهُ بِيدي عَدوِّ
