1. The full moon rose and the darkness fled away,
And the stars in the sky slowly faded away.

2. Each star fell from the sky in surrender,
Becoming small and fading into nothingness.

3. Our Beirut was illuminated and became radiant,
Adorning itself with its light elegantly.

4. Whoever saw it other than thriving, rejoiced,
For they saw the full moon residing in it.

5. It danced happily with joy,
Becoming content with what it had wished for.

6. And it seemed to recite the Surah of Gratitude,
When it sensed the reciting of the Surah of Light.

7. It welcomed it with delight and said,
Welcome, welcome, welcome my friend.

8. Welcome O pillar of glory, eye of the loyalists,
Noblest of people, then most judicious.

9. The peak of might, essence of glory, bow down,
And most perfect of people in insight and intellect.

10. All glory is beneath his glory,
If it rose, it would not reach his feet.

11. He is the servant of the Master and the noble Master,
Who saw a master like the servant of the Master?

12. So ask the sea, does it match his knowledge?
And ask the clouds, do they parallel his virtue?

13. The daughter of Khadr, imagining led her astray.
So accept her without any command,

14. For acceptance from you is more proper and appropriate.
And live the lifetime without constriction,

15. For the bride of bliss is unveiled before you.
