أَوَلَيسَ مِن إِحدى العَجائِبِ أَنَّني

أَوَلَيسَ مِن إِحدى العَجائِبِ أَنَّني

فَارَقتُهُ فَحَيَّيتُ بَعدَ فِراقِهِ

فَارَقتُهُ فَحَيَّيتُ بَعدَ فِراقِهِ

And is it not one of the wonders that I

Is it not one of the wonders that I

Parted from him, yet lived on after separation from him?

Parted from him, yet lived after parting?

يا مَن يُحاكى البَدرَ عِندَ تَمامِهِ

يا مَن يُحاكى البَدرَ عِندَ تَمامِهِ

اِرحَم فَتىً يَحكِيه عِندَ مَحاقِهِ

اِرحَم فَتىً يَحكِيه عِندَ مَحاقِهِ

O you who resemble the full moon at its fullness,

O he who rivals the full moon in splendor,

Have mercy on a youth who resembles it in its dark phase.

Have mercy on one who recalls him in ruin.
