قَد أَظلمَ الكَونُ وَاِسودَّت جَوانِبهُ

قَد أَظلمَ الكَونُ وَاِسودَّت جَوانِبهُ

إِذ ماتَ بَدري وَكانَ الكَون فيهِ يُرى

إِذ ماتَ بَدري وَكانَ الكَون فيهِ يُرى

The universe has darkened, and its reaches have turned black;

The universe has darkened, its edges blackened,

For my full moon has died, and in him the universe was seen.

Since my full moon died, and the universe through him was seen,

فَيا سَماء اِحزَني وَاِبكي النّجوم شَجىً

فَيا سَماء اِحزَني وَاِبكي النّجوم شَجىً

فَاليومَ قَد دَفَنوا تَحتَ الثّرى القَمرا

فَاليومَ قَد دَفَنوا تَحتَ الثّرى القَمرا

So, O sky, grieve and shed stars in sorrow,

So sky, mourn me, and stars cry in anguish,

For today they have buried the moon beneath the soil.

For today, buried under the soil, is the moon.
