1. O crescent moon appearing from the palaces
My heart fasted for my beloved and prayed

2. O angel who traveled by night
Whose taste is like the flavor of sleep, no, it is sweeter

3. My intention is what my beloved wants from me
If he gave me respite, I would not say "wait"

4. I don't know if my night has been long or not
How would one tossed and turned know that

5. Indeed for lovers in the court of Al-Lah
There is occupation in staying up instead of sleep

6. If I branched out to lengthen my night
And to shepherd the stars, I would be mad

7. And since you've been absent from the heart that loves you
It hasn't stopped loving you, never and no
