1. وافى الحَبيبُ الزائِرُ

    طَلَعَ الهِلالُ الباهِرُ

    The beloved visitor has come

    The brilliant crescent moon has risen

  2. وَغَزِيرُ دَمعي مُهتَدٍ

    فيهِ وَقَلبي حائِرُ

    And my overflowing tears of longing

    Wander, and my heart is perplexed

  3. لي عَبرَةٌ في الخَدِّ سا

    ئِرَةٌ وَبَيتٌ سائِرُ

    I have flowing sorrows on my cheek

    And a house that is ever on the move

  4. فَلَوِ اِكتَحَلتَ بِوَجهِهِ

    وَالطَرفُ مِنهُ سائِرُ

    If you would line your eyes with his face

    While my glance moves over it

  5. وَبِوَجنَتَيهِ بَدائِعٌ

    لِلجُلِّنارِ ضَرائِرُ

    And on his cheeks are wonders

    For the gatherer of radiant beams

  6. لَرَأَيتَ حَتفَ مَوارِدٍ

    لَيسَت لَهُنَّ مَصادِرُ

    You would see a source of outpouring

    That has no origin
