بَدَا المُشْتَرِي بِالأُفْقِ لِلبَدْرِ تَالِياً

فَأَشْرَقَ مِنْ نُورَيْهِما فَلَكُ الدُّنْيَا

The Moon rose chasing the Evening Star in the horizon,

And with their combined light, the sky of this world shone bright.

وَلاحَا كَما قامَ الأَمِيرُ وَنَجْلُهُ

تَقَدَّمَ يَحْيَى واقْتَفَاهُ أَبو يَحْيَى

Like a Prince stood with his noble son,

Yahya went forth, followed by Abu Yahya.
