وَمُذ أَطفَأَ الشَمعَ النَسيمُ بِمَجلِسٍ

وَمُذ أَطفَأَ الشَمعَ النَسيمُ بِمَجلِسٍ

بِهِ نورُ شَمسِ الدينِ كَالشَمسِ ساطِعُ

بِهِ نورُ شَمسِ الدينِ كَالشَمسِ ساطِعُ

And when the breeze put out the candles at a gathering

Since the breeze extinguished the candle in a gathering

where the light of Shams al-Din shone like the sun,

Where the light of the sun of religion shone like the sun

عَذَرنا وَقُلنا ما أَتى بِبَديعَةٍ

عَذَرنا وَقُلنا ما أَتى بِبَديعَةٍ

لِأَنَّ اِشتِعالَ الشَمعِ في الشَمسِ ضائِعُ

لِأَنَّ اِشتِعالَ الشَمعِ في الشَمسِ ضائِعُ

we excused it and said, “It has done nothing extraordinary,

We apologized and said he did not produce a wonder

for the burning of candles is wasted in the sun.”

For the candle's flame in the sun would be lost
