يا شَمْسَ حُسْنٍ أَشْرَقَتْ

يا شَمْسَ حُسْنٍ أَشْرَقَتْ

مِنْ فَوْقِ غُصْنٍ مِنْ لُجَيْنِ

مِنْ فَوْقِ غُصْنٍ مِنْ لُجَيْنِ

O sun of beauty that has shone

O sun of beauty that rose

From above a branch of silver,

Above a branch of wild pear,

اُنْظُرْ إِلى البَدْرِ المُنِي

اُنْظُرْ إِلى البَدْرِ المُنِي

فِ إِذا بَدَا في الفَرْقَدَيْنِ

فِ إِذا بَدَا في الفَرْقَدَيْنِ

Look at the lofty full moon

Look upon the shining moon

When it appears between the two Farqad stars.

When it appears between the Pleiades,

وَلَهِي عَلَيْهِ أَشَدُّ مِنْ

وَلَهِي عَلَيْهِ أَشَدُّ مِنْ

وَلَهِ البَتُولِ عَلَى الحُسَيْنِ

وَلَهِ البَتُولِ عَلَى الحُسَيْنِ

My anguished longing for him is fiercer than

And it has overwhelmed me more than

Al-Batul’s grief over Al-Husayn.

The maiden's passion for al-Husayn.
