1. يا مُعير البَدر حُسناً

    في دُجى اللَيل البَهيم

    O lender of beauty to the full moon

    in the darkness of the pitch-black night,

  2. وَقَضيباً مِن نَسيم

    في قَميص مِن نَعيم

    and slender bough of breeze

    in a shirt of bliss,

  3. أَنتَ أَشهى لِفُؤادي

    مِن شِفاء لِسَقيم

    you are more desirable to my heart

    than healing to one who is ill.
