He visited while the people slept

زار والناس نيام

1. He visited while the people slept
So greetings to the full moon

١. زارَ وَالناسُ نِيامُ
فَعَلى البَدرِ السَلامُ

2. A visitor in whom there is shyness
And dignity and modesty

٢. زائِرٌ فيهِ حَياءٌ
وَوَقارٌ وَاِحتِشامُ

3. A visit he made obligatory for me
Out of love and yearning from him

٣. زَورَةٌ أَوجَبَها لي
مِنهُ وُدٌّ وَذِمامُ

4. I wonder was it a dream?
Excellent was that dream

٤. أَتُرى كانَت مَناماً
حَبَّذا ذاكَ المَنامُ

5. So I kissed the full moon in the darkness of night while he was complete
And I embraced the delicate branch, bent by kisses

٥. فَلَثَمتُ البَدرَ في جُن
حِ الدُجى وَهوَ تَمامُ

6. O you who blame me for him
Reproach for him was made good for me

٦. وَاِعتَنَقتُ الغُصنَ رَيّا
نَ تُثَنّيهِ المُدامُ

7. Indeed, he who has a beloved like my beloved is not to be blamed

٧. أَيُّها اللائِمُ فيهِ
طابَ لي فيهِ المَلامُ

٨. إِنَّ مَن كانَ لَهُ مِث
لُ حَبيبي لا يُلامُ
