لا يدعى بدر لوجهك نسبة

لا يدعى بدر لوجهك نسبة

فاخاف ان يسود وجه المدعى

فاخاف ان يسود وجه المدعى

Let no full moon claim kinship with your face,

The full moon is not compared to your face

For I fear the claimant's face would turn black.

For I fear the one named would be put to shame

فالشمس لو علمت بانك دونها

فالشمس لو علمت بانك دونها

هبطت إليك من المحل الأرفع

هبطت إليك من المحل الأرفع

For if the sun knew you were below her,

If the sun knew you were above her

She would descend to you from the loftiest station.

She'd descend to you from her lofty place
