I gazed at her, like the full moon, among the graceful maidens,
Like the full moon I glimpsed her amidst the clouds
As they searched for the crescent to celebrate Eid.
Seeking out the crescent to celebrate

How delighted I am at the month's beginning, for
How it delighted me, the new moon's radiance, when
I have found in her face the crescent of Eid!
I met her face, crescent of the feast
