رأيتُ في الحمام بدرَ الدُجى

رأيتُ في الحمام بدرَ الدُجى

وشعرُهُ الاسودُ محلولُ

وشعرُهُ الاسودُ محلولُ

I saw in the bathhouse the full moon of the dark night.

I saw the full moon of nightfall in the bathhouse

And his black hair hung loose.

Its black hair undone

قد عمّموه بدجى شعره

قد عمّموه بدجى شعره

وَنقَّطوا الفضّة باللولو

وَنقَّطوا الفضّة باللولو

They had turbaned him with the darkness of his hair.

They had cloaked it in the nightfall of its hair

And dotted the silver with pearls.

And dotted the silver with pearls
