وَالْبَدْرُ مثلُ حَبِيِبي

في رَوْنَقٍ وَابْتِهَاجِ

The full moon is like my beloved

And the full moon is like my beloved,

In splendor and joy

In its radiance and delight;

والبحرُ مثلُ فُؤَادِي

في رَجَّةٍ وَانْزِعَاجِ

And the sea is like my heart

And the sea is like my heart,

In ebb and turmoil

In its trembling and turmoil.
