أَهْوَى قَمَراً مَرَّ بِنَا مُجْتازا

أَهْوَى قَمَراً مَرَّ بِنَا مُجْتازا

بِاللُّطْفِ لِكُلِّ مُهْجَةٍ قَدْ حَازَا

بِاللُّطْفِ لِكُلِّ مُهْجَةٍ قَدْ حَازَا

I love a moon who passed us by on his way.

I crave a moon that passed by transient

With gentle charm, he has won every heart.

With grace for every smitten one it has won

ما اسْتَعْرَضَ جَيْشَ حُسْنِهِ عَارِضُه

ما اسْتَعْرَضَ جَيْشَ حُسْنِهِ عَارِضُه

حَتَّى جَعَلَ الطَّرْفَ لَهُ غَمَّازا

حَتَّى جَعَلَ الطَّرْفَ لَهُ غَمَّازا

No sooner had his cheek’s down reviewed the army of his beauty

It never displayed its army of beauty openly

Than it set the eye winking at him.

Until it made eyes for it to wink
