وَكَأَنَّها تَهْوى إِذاعَةَ ضَوْئِها

وَكَأَنَّها تَهْوى إِذاعَةَ ضَوْئِها

لِلنَّاظِرِينَ لِسَعْدِهِمْ بِنُحُوسِها

لِلنَّاظِرِينَ لِسَعْدِهِمْ بِنُحُوسِها

And it is as though she loves to spread her light

As if it likes to radiate its light

to those who gaze, for their good fortune through her ill fortune.

To viewers, for their luck through its eclipses

فَإِذا تَقَرَّبَ عُمْرُها لِنَفادِهِ

فَإِذا تَقَرَّبَ عُمْرُها لِنَفادِهِ

رَدُّوا لَها عُمْراً بِقَطْعِ رؤُوسِها

رَدُّوا لَها عُمْراً بِقَطْعِ رؤُوسِها

Then, when her life draws near its end,

So when its lifetime approaches its end

they restore life to her by cutting off her heads.

They grant it lifetime by beheading it
