يَا شَمْسَ فَضْلٍ سَنَاهَا لَيْسَ يَحْتَجِبُ

يَا شَمْسَ فَضْلٍ سَنَاهَا لَيْسَ يَحْتَجِبُ

وَالشَّمْسُ تُسْفِرُ أَحْيَاناً وَتَنْتَقِبُ

وَالشَّمْسُ تُسْفِرُ أَحْيَاناً وَتَنْتَقِبُ

O sun of excellence, whose radiance is never veiled!

While the sun sometimes unveils herself and sometimes veils herself.

كَلِفْتَ بالْبَدْرِ وَالأَقْدَارُ غَالِبَةٌ

كَلِفْتَ بالْبَدْرِ وَالأَقْدَارُ غَالِبَةٌ

تَقْفُو مَدَارِجَهُ طَوْراً وَتَعْتَقِبُ

تَقْفُو مَدَارِجَهُ طَوْراً وَتَعْتَقِبُ

You were enamored of the full moon, and the fates prevail;

You follow its courses at times and alternate with it.

وَالْبَدْرُ يَكْسفُ جِرْمَ الشَّمْسِ عَادَتَهُ

وَالْبَدْرُ يَكْسفُ جِرْمَ الشَّمْسِ عَادَتَهُ

هَذَا الْخُسُوفُ الَّذِي قَدْ كُنْتُ أَرْتَقِبُ

هَذَا الْخُسُوفُ الَّذِي قَدْ كُنْتُ أَرْتَقِبُ

And the full moon eclipses the sun’s orb, as is its wont.

This is the eclipse I had been awaiting.
