زارَت بِلَيلٍ شَديدِ الغَيمِ مُظلِمهُ

في أَوّلِ الشّهرِ لا نَجمٌ ولا قمرُ

She visited in a night of heavy clouded darkness,

At the beginning of the month, no stars and no moon.

أَرادَتِ السّترَ لا يَدري بِنا أَحدٌ

فَالكَونُ مِن حُسنِها قَد ضاءَ يَزدَهِرُ

She wanted to be veiled, no one knows about us,

But the universe shone and blossomed due to her beauty.

فَشامَتِ النّاسَ هَذا الضّوء فاِنتَبَهوا

ظَنُّوا النّهارَ بَدا فَاِهتاجَتِ الفِكرُ

The people were awakened by this light,

Thinking it was dawn, their thoughts were delighted.

فَأَدرَكوا الحالَ لا تَخفى حَقيقَتُهُ

فَما اِستَتَرنا وَلَكِن قَد فَشا الخَبرُ

They realized what was happening could not be hidden,

We did not hide, but the news had spread.
