مَن قالَ إنَّكَ تُشبِهُ ال

قَمرَ المُنيرَ فَغيرُ صادِق

Whoever said that you resemble the radiant moon is not truthful

And the eloquence of your beauty contradicts him and proves otherwise

ولِسانُ حُسنِكَ شاهِدٌ

لكَ بِالخِلافِ عَليهِ ناطِق

If the moon had a body and a heart

Your rule over it would have preceded

لو كانَ ذا جَسَدٍ وقَلبٍ

كانَ حُكمكَ فيه سابِق

And perhaps he is one of your lovers

Yet we do not see lovers for the full moon

ولعلَّه من عاشِقي

كَ وما نَرى لِلبَدرِ عاشِق

Be assured, O conqueror, that he is confident in his love for you

ثِق يا مُقاتِلُ من فُؤا

دِي أنَّه بِهَواكَ واثِق
