1. A wise man like the full moon visited at night,
His light dispelled the darkness when he appeared.
١. وَفَقِيهٍ كَالبَدْرِ زَارَ بِلَيْلٍ
فَجَلا نُورُهُ الدُّجَى إِذْ تَجَلَّى
2. He didn't know where I was but my heart,
Guided by the shepherd's hut, led him and showed the way.
٢. مَا دَرَى مَوْضِعي وَلكِنَّ قَلْبِي
بِضِرَامِ الحَشَا هَداهُ وَدلَّا
3. How amazing that this wise and intelligent man
Knew through clues where to find the subject of dispute.
٣. وَعَجِيبٍ مِنْهُ فَقِيهٌ ذَكِيٌّ
بِمَحَلِّ النّزَاعِ كَيْفَ اسْتَدَلَّا
