جَلَوتَ لنا قشرا من الصبح مترعاً

جَلَوتَ لنا قشرا من الصبح مترعاً

من الشمس يَعشَى دونها المتوسّمُ

من الشمس يَعشَى دونها المتوسّمُ

You unveiled for us a morning moon, brimming

You unveiled for us a rind of dawn, brimming

with sunlight—before it, the discerning gazer is dazzled.

With the sun, before which the discerning gazer is dazzled.

فأعُينُنا سكرى لفرط شعاعه

فأعُينُنا سكرى لفرط شعاعه

وشارِبُها من شدة السُّكر مُفحَمُ

وشارِبُها من شدة السُّكر مُفحَمُ

Our eyes are drunk on the fullness of its radiance,

So our eyes are drunk from its excessive radiance,

and whoever drinks it is struck speechless by the force of the intoxication.

And its drinker is struck speechless by the intensity of intoxication.
