يَا أَيُّهَا الْمَوْلَى الْهُمَامْ

وَمَنْ حَوَى أَعْلَى مَقَامْ

O you the most noble one

O magnanimous master,

And the one who attained the highest status

And he who has attained the highest station,

لَقَدْ غَدَوْنَا فِي ظَلاَمْ

مُذْ غِبْتَ يَا خَيْرَ الأَنَامْ

We have been in darkness

We have truly been plunged into darkness

Since you disappeared, O the best of mankind

Since you departed, O best of creation.

فَابْرُزْ إِلَيْنَا نَقْتَبِسْ

سَنَاكَ يَا بَدْرَ التَّمَامْ

So come out to us that we may kindle

So appear to us, that we may borrow the light

Your radiance, O full moon

Of your radiance, O perfect full moon.
