1. She visited in a night of heavy clouded darkness,
At the beginning of the month, no stars and no moon.
١. زارَت بِلَيلٍ شَديدِ الغَيمِ مُظلِمهُ
في أَوّلِ الشّهرِ لا نَجمٌ ولا قمرُ
2. She wanted to be veiled, no one knows about us,
But the universe shone and blossomed due to her beauty.
٢. أَرادَتِ السّترَ لا يَدري بِنا أَحدٌ
فَالكَونُ مِن حُسنِها قَد ضاءَ يَزدَهِرُ
3. The people were awakened by this light,
Thinking it was dawn, their thoughts were delighted.
٣. فَشامَتِ النّاسَ هَذا الضّوء فاِنتَبَهوا
ظَنُّوا النّهارَ بَدا فَاِهتاجَتِ الفِكرُ
4. They realized what was happening could not be hidden,
We did not hide, but the news had spread.
٤. فَأَدرَكوا الحالَ لا تَخفى حَقيقَتُهُ
فَما اِستَتَرنا وَلَكِن قَد فَشا الخَبرُ
