نَادَْيتُ يَا بَدْرُ لَمَّا

جَلَْ سَنَاهُ السُّعُودُ

I called, "O full moon!" when

We sat to face him at Su'ûd.

مَا بَالُ نُورِ المُحَيَّا

فِي كُلّ يَوْمٍ يَزِيدُ

“Why does the light of your face

Increase every day?” He said, “My crescent’s

فَقَالَ فَرْقِي هِلاَلٌ

قُلْنَا هِلاَلٌ سَعِيدُ

A new moon.” We said, “A crescent

Foretells good fortune.”
