قَمَرُ اللَيلِ إِذا ما اِنتَقَبَت

قَمَرُ اللَيلِ إِذا ما اِنتَقَبَت

وَهيَ كَالشَمسِ إِذا لَم تَنتَقِب

وَهيَ كَالشَمسِ إِذا لَم تَنتَقِب

She is the moon of night when she veils her face,

When the moon of night unveils her face,

And she is like the sun when she is unveiled.

She shines as brightly as the sun behind her veil.

رُبَّما بِتُّ بِها مُستَبشِراً

رُبَّما بِتُّ بِها مُستَبشِراً

في نَعيمٍ وَتَصابٍ وَلَعِب

في نَعيمٍ وَتَصابٍ وَلَعِب

At times I spent the night with her, rejoicing,

I stay awake at night in joy and delight,

In bliss, youthful dalliance, and play.

Reveling in pleasure, fun, and play.
