قَدindeed طَلَعَhas risen البَدرُthe full moon فيamid كواكبهِits stars
قَد طَلَعَ البَدرُ في كواكبهِ
كالمَلكlike a king يختالُstruts فيamid مواكِبهِhis processions
كالمَلك يختالُ في مواكِبهِ
Indeed, the full moon has risen amid its stars,
The full moon rose among the stars
like a king strutting amid his processions.
Like a king marching with his entourage
وَاللَيلُand the night يَسعىhastens بهwith it إِلىtoward أَمَدٍa goal
وَاللَيلُ يَسعى به إِلى أَمَدٍ
كالطرفِlike a swift steed يَستنُّgallops تَحتَbeneath راكِبهِits rider
كالطرفِ يَستنُّ تَحتَ راكِبهِ
And night hastens with it toward a goal,
And the night hastens after it to a goal
like a swift steed galloping beneath its rider.
As an eyelid yearns beneath its rider
