1. قُلت لَما بَدا سميُّ الشَفيعِ

    بِمُحيّاً كَالبَدر عِندَ الطُلوعِ

    I said, when the Intercessor’s namesake appeared,

    With a face like the full moon at its rising:

  2. جاءَنا السَعد وَالهَنا قال أَرّخ

    لاحَ بَدر التَمام نصف رَبيع

    “Good fortune and joy have come to us.” He said, “Record the date:

    The full moon shone forth in mid-Rabiʿ.”
