وَما الشّمسُ وَالبدرُ الجميلُ بِكَوكَبٍ

وَما الشّمسُ وَالبدرُ الجميلُ بِكَوكَبٍ

بَلِ اِسمانِ لِلمَحبوبِ بِالسرِّ وَالجهرِ

بَلِ اِسمانِ لِلمَحبوبِ بِالسرِّ وَالجهرِ

And the sun and the beautiful full moon are not celestial bodies,

The sun and the beautiful full moon are not planets

but two names for the beloved, in secret and in public.

But secret and public names for the Beloved
