ومُنهَتِكٍ لَهُ نَظَرٌ

يَصُونُ مَوَاقِعَ النَّظَرِ

And a wanton one, whose gaze

With an observer whose gaze is penetrating

guards the places where eyes fall;

Guarding the points of observation

هِلالٌ لَوْ بَدا للسَّفْ

هِلالٌ لَوْ بَدا للسَّفْ

رِ أَغْناهُمْ عَنِ السَّفَرِ

رِ أَغْناهُمْ عَنِ السَّفَرِ

a crescent moon—if he appeared to the trav-

A crescent, if it appeared to the travelers

-elers, he would spare them the journey.

Would spare them the journey

فَوَا وَيْلاهُ مِنْ قَمَرٍ

فَوَا وَيْلاهُ مِنْ قَمَرٍ

يُريكَ مَساوِئَ الْقَمَرِ

يُريكَ مَساوِئَ الْقَمَرِ

So, woe is me because of a moon

Alas for it is a moon

who shows you the moon's blemishes.

That shows you the blemishes of the moon
