1. As if beneath her veil a crescent moon
Appeared to creation on the feast's first night,
١. كَأَنَّ بِقَوْسِ النُّونِ تَحْتَ نِقابِها
هِلالاً بَدا لِلْفِطْرِ في غُرَّةِ الشَّهْرِ
2. Its splendor put the full moon overhead to shame
When eyes admired it gleaming through the clouds upon the moon.
٢. تَجاهَلَ خُبْراً ضَوْؤُهُ أَنَّ فَوْقَهُ
لما اسْتَحْسَنَتْهُ العَيْنُ غَيْماً عَلَى بَدْرِ
