1. The full moon rose in the darkness of night
And illuminated hearts with Islam's light

2. The perfection of creation, I profess
I'm captive to passion, ardent love's plight

3. The beauty of God's image, joyous sight
Shone in the forms that dwell in mortal space

4. We worship Him in all we perceive
In spirits, bodies, each being and place

5. The messenger of truth made all sights keen
After blindness so long, veil's darkened lace

6. His visage did mute mouths open, eyes gleam
Moon's full orb shone in cheeks, glorious face

7. With guidance He dispelled all disbelief
Light burst forth after the gloom we did face

8. On him blessings and peace every moment
From servants who hymn to Islam's embrace

9. And his household and all his companions
As long as stars glitter or red sunbeams race

10. Or lightning cracks from Hama's dark horizons
Or flowers bloom, petals enfolded in grace
