وَالْبَدْرُ مثلُ حَبِيِبي

وَالْبَدْرُ مثلُ حَبِيِبي

في رَوْنَقٍ وَابْتِهَاجِ

في رَوْنَقٍ وَابْتِهَاجِ

And the full moon is like my beloved

The full moon is like my beloved

And the full moon is like my beloved,

in radiance and joy.

In splendor and joy

In its radiance and delight;

والبحرُ مثلُ فُؤَادِي

والبحرُ مثلُ فُؤَادِي

في رَجَّةٍ وَانْزِعَاجِ

في رَجَّةٍ وَانْزِعَاجِ

And the sea is like my heart

And the sea is like my heart

And the sea is like my heart,

in trembling and agitation.

In ebb and turmoil

In its trembling and turmoil.
