1. The nights have cast their shadows upon you,
Yet they did not rely on you, nor did they know.

2. When they realized their events
Had become too great for the insignificant,

3. And their disasters had befallen you,
They found you firmer than granite,

4. And more courageous in adversity than a lion,
They returned their harm as a favor to you,

5. Adorned with bounties.
And they gave you manifold what they had taken,

6. And came to you in the guise of one submitting.
They did not betray you; rather their betrayal

7. Was of their own temperament, which did not understand.
Rejoice, O full moon of the horizon,

8. The birth of your sun among the stars,
It came to you, better than one who offers condolences

9. For glory, and more honorable than one who belongs.
It adorns the heights and spreads the dew,

10. And clears the darkness of the gloomy night.
You have congratulated it at the rising of the two lucky ones,

11. And filled it for the duration of misfortunes.
You still remain in the honor of favors,

12. The place of the bracelet on the wrist.
I repay you with praise before deeds,

13. For your most gracious and kindest affection.
