1. With an observer whose gaze is penetrating
Guarding the points of observation
١. ومُنهَتِكٍ لَهُ نَظَرٌ
يَصُونُ مَوَاقِعَ النَّظَرِ
2. A crescent, if it appeared to the travelers
Would spare them the journey
٢. هِلالٌ لَوْ بَدا للسَّفْ
رِ أَغْناهُمْ عَنِ السَّفَرِ
3. Alas for it is a moon
That shows you the blemishes of the moon
٣. فَوَا وَيْلاهُ مِنْ قَمَرٍ
يُريكَ مَساوِئَ الْقَمَرِ
