تَبَدّى كَالهِلالِ وَصارَ بَدراً

وَسارَ إِلى السَرارِ بِلا زَوالِ

He appeared like the crescent and became full moon

And marched to glory with no decline

لِنَشهَدَ شَهرَهُ وَالصَومَ فيهِ

وَعيدَ الفِطرِ في يَومِ المَآلِ

That we may see his month and fast therein

And Break fast on the day of fulfillment

وَيَبدو نورُهُ في الظِلِّ مِنّا

كَضَوءِ البَدرِ في ظُلمِ اللَيالي

His light appears in our darkness

Like moonlight in the gloom of night
