1. He let his hair fall upon his cheek
A moon whose wandering became its habit
١. أرْخَى عَلَى الخَدّ شَعْراً
بَدْرٌ لَهُ التِّيهُ عَادَهْ
2. And it went about in it, so we said
"Have you no fear of its darkness?"
٢. وَسَارَ فِيهِ فَقُلْنَا
أمَا خَشِيتَ سَوَادَهْ
3. But he said "My face is radiant"
We said "Good morning to happiness"
٣. فَقَالَ وَجْهِي صَبِيحٌ
قُلْنَا صَبَاحَ السَّعادَه
