1. سَألَ البَدرُ هَل تَبدّى أَخوهُ

    قلتُ يا بَدرُ لَن تُطيقَ طُلُوعا

    The full moon asked whether his brother had appeared.

    I said: O full moon, you will not be able to rise.

  2. كَيفَ يَبدو وَأَنتَ بِاللَيلِ بادٍ

    أَو بَدرانِ يَطلُعانِ جَميعا

    How can he appear while you are visible at night?

    Or do two full moons rise together?
