فهوfor it is المنيرthe light-giver بجنحin the gloom of ليلa night اظلماgrew dark
فهو المنير بجنح ليل اظلما
At midmorning, we see nothing but your beauty;
We see none but your beauty in the morning glow
For it is the light in the gloom of a night grown dark.
It shines to illuminate the darkest night

A rounded breast of yours has bewildered the astronomer;
The celestial sphere is captivated by you
So you must set right what he has not set right.
You bring order to that which lacks rhythm
