فديتُ محمَّداً من كلِّ سُوِّ

يُحاذرُ في رواحٍ أو غدوٍّ

I sacrifice myself for Muhammad at every rise or set

O moon of the sky, you have descended so low

أيا قَمرَ السَّماءِ سَفلتَ حتَّى

كأنَّكَ قد ضَجِرتَ من العُلوِّ

As if you were weary of the heights

I saw you distanced from your beloved

رأيتُكَ من حبيبكَ ذا بِعادٍ

ومِمَّن لا يُحبُّكَ ذا دُنوِّ

And approached by one who does not love you

It should suffice as regret for you from a lover

وحَسبُكَ حَسرةً لكَ من حَبيبٍ

رأيت زِمامَهُ بِيدي عَدوِّ

That I saw his reins in the hands of an enemy
