1. The sky, and in it glide its stars
And the glowing moon began to move through it
١. إِنّ السّماءَ وَفيها سارَ أَنجمها
وَقَد بَدا القمرُ الزّاهي بِها يَسري
2. Like a turquoise sea, in which pearls leapt
And a boat of freshness sails between them
٢. كَبَحرِ فَيروزَجٍ هامَت بِهِ درر
وَزَورَقٌ مِن نضار بَينَها يَجري
