يا قَمَراً أَصبَحَ لي مالِكا

لا تَترُكَنّي هَكَذا هالِكا

Oh moon you have become an owner to me

Don't leave me like this, destroyed

وَفَلذَةَ الكبدِ الَّتي ضَمَّها

مَبيتُها الدهرَ بأوحالكا

And the piece of my liver that it has held

Its home has been in your mud forever

رَقَّ عَلى قَلبِ العَميدِ الَّذي

يَوَدُّ أَن يَجري عَلى بالكِا

It softened the heart of the colonel who

Wishes it flows into your thoughts

حسنت في خَلق وَخُلقٍ فَلِم

رَضيتَ بِالقُبحِ لِأَفعالِكا

You were good in nature and ethics so why

Did you accept ugliness for your actions
