يَا شَمْسَ فَضْلٍ سَنَاهَا لَيْسَ يَحْتَجِبُ

يَا شَمْسَ فَضْلٍ سَنَاهَا لَيْسَ يَحْتَجِبُ

وَالشَّمْسُ تُسْفِرُ أَحْيَاناً وَتَنْتَقِبُ

وَالشَّمْسُ تُسْفِرُ أَحْيَاناً وَتَنْتَقِبُ

O sun of excellence, whose radiance is not veiled.

And the sun sometimes unveils herself and sometimes dons a veil.

كَلِفْتَ بالْبَدْرِ وَالأَقْدَارُ غَالِبَةٌ

كَلِفْتَ بالْبَدْرِ وَالأَقْدَارُ غَالِبَةٌ

تَقْفُو مَدَارِجَهُ طَوْراً وَتَعْتَقِبُ

تَقْفُو مَدَارِجَهُ طَوْراً وَتَعْتَقِبُ

You became enamored of the full moon, while the fates prevail.

You follow its courses at times and take your turn.

وَالْبَدْرُ يَكْسفُ جِرْمَ الشَّمْسِ عَادَتَهُ

وَالْبَدْرُ يَكْسفُ جِرْمَ الشَّمْسِ عَادَتَهُ

هَذَا الْخُسُوفُ الَّذِي قَدْ كُنْتُ أَرْتَقِبُ

هَذَا الْخُسُوفُ الَّذِي قَدْ كُنْتُ أَرْتَقِبُ

And the full moon eclipses the sun’s disk, as is its wont.

This is the eclipse that I had been awaiting.
