الشمس مع النجوم والقمر مر

الشمس مع النجوم والقمر مر

إن لاح خيالها بماء النهر

إن لاح خيالها بماء النهر

The sun, with the stars and the moon, is bitter

The sun with the stars and the moon passed by

if their reflection appears in the river’s water.

As her image shone in the water of the river

فالشمس رغيف والنجيمات بيوض

فالشمس رغيف والنجيمات بيوض

والبدر كقرص جبن جاموس طري

والبدر كقرص جبن جاموس طري

For the sun is a loaf of bread, and the little stars are eggs,

So the sun is a loaf and the little stars are eggs

and the full moon is like a round of fresh buffalo cheese.

And the full moon is a big round cheese
