أسائل بدرَ التَّمِّ كيف هلالُهُ

وأدعو له الرّحمن جلَّ جلالُهُ

I ask the full moon, how is its crescent?

And I pray to the Most Merciful, majestic is His glory,

ستبلُغُ فيه ما تؤمَّلُ من مُنىً

ويُرضيك يا بدَ الكمال كمالُهُ

You will attain in it what you wish,

And you will be pleased, O perfection of beauty, by its perfection.
