1. يا بَديعَ الحُسنِ وَالإِح

    سانِ يا بَدرَ الدَياجي

    O marvel of beauty and benevo-

    lence, O full moon of the dark nights!

  2. يا غَزالاً صادَ مِنّي

    بِالطُلَى لَيثَ الهَياجِ

    O gazelle that captured from me,

    with its neck, the lion of battle!

  3. قَد غَنينا بِسَنا وَجْ

    هَكَ عَن ضَوءِ السراجِ

    We have no need, thanks to the radiance of your fa-

    ce, of the lamp's light.
