لِلرَّمْي فَضْلٌ لَيْسَ يُنْكَرُ قَدْرُهُ

لِلرَّمْي فَضْلٌ لَيْسَ يُنْكَرُ قَدْرُهُ

وَالجَوُّ قَد شَهْدَتْ بِهِ آثارُهُ

وَالجَوُّ قَد شَهْدَتْ بِهِ آثارُهُ

Shooting has a merit whose worth cannot be denied.

And in the sky its traces have indeed borne witness.

الشُّهْبُ بُندُقُهُ وَنونُ هِلالِهِ

الشُّهْبُ بُندُقُهُ وَنونُ هِلالِهِ

قَوسٌ وَمِسْكِيُّ الغَمامِ غُبارُهُ

قَوسٌ وَمِسْكِيُّ الغَمامِ غُبارُهُ

The shooting stars are its pellets, and the nūn of its crescent

Is a bow, and the musk-hued clouds are its dust.
