يا بَدرُ كَيفَ صَنَعتَ بِالبَدرِ

وَفَضَحتَهُ مِن حَيثُ لا يَدري

O full moon, how you have outshone the full moon

And exposed it, though it knows not how!

الدَهرَ أَنتَ بِأَسرِهِ قَمرٌ

وَلِذاكَ لَيلَتُهُ مِنَ الشَهرِ

Through all time you are the moon entire,

And for that reason its month belongs to you.
