يا مُخْجِلاً لِلْبَدْرِ في حُسْنِهِ

يا مُخْجِلاً لِلْبَدْرِ في حُسْنِهِ

وَزَائِداً نُوراً عَلَى الشَّمسِ

وَزَائِداً نُوراً عَلَى الشَّمسِ

O you who put the full moon’s beauty to shame,

O one who shames the full moon with his beauty,

And surpass the sun in radiance,

And surpasses the sun's radiance,

إِنَّ دُمُوعي فيكَ يا سَيِّدي

إِنَّ دُمُوعي فيكَ يا سَيِّدي

تَكَلَّمَتْ عَنْ أَلْسُنٍ خُرْسِ

تَكَلَّمَتْ عَنْ أَلْسُنٍ خُرْسِ

Indeed, my tears for you, O my lord,

Indeed, my tears for you, my master,

Have spoken on behalf of mute tongues.

Spoke for muted tongues.

قُلْ لي مَقالاً واعْتَمِدْ صِدْقَهُ

قُلْ لي مَقالاً واعْتَمِدْ صِدْقَهُ

لأَيِّ شَيءٍ قُتِلَتْ نَفْسي

لأَيِّ شَيءٍ قُتِلَتْ نَفْسي

Tell me something, and ensure it is true:

Say to me something true,

For what reason was my soul slain?

For what reason was my soul slain?
