تَجلَّى لنا البَدْرُ في خِلْعَةٍ

تَجلَّى لنا البَدْرُ في خِلْعَةٍ

لَفَاضَ عليها السَّنَا والسَّناءَ

لَفَاضَ عليها السَّنَا والسَّناءَ

The full moon appeared to us in a robe of honor,

The moon appeared to us in a robe

Overflowing with brightness and splendor

بِها طَلْعَةُ البَدْرِ كانتْ سَماءَ

Appeared in it, it was like the sky
