يا قمراً صار حُسنُه عَلَما

قتلتَ خَلقاً وما سفكتَ دَما

O moon whose beauty has become renowned

You have slain souls though shedding no blood

قاسمت بدرَ الدجى محاسنَه

وازددتَ طَرفاً ومبسماً وفما

The full moon shared with you her splendor

And you gained more charm, smiles, and mouth

لو كان في جاهليَّةٍ سلفت

صُوِّرَ تمثال حُسنِه صَنَما

If in the Jahiliyyah you had lived before

Your beauty's statue would have been an idol
