1. البدرُ أضَا وَبِالسّعُودِ اتَّصَلاَ

    لَمَّا نَصَلاَ

    The full moon shone and joined the auspicious stars,

    When it emerged.

  2. وَالنُّور كَسَا سَوَافِرَ الزَّهْرِ حُلَى

    حَاكَتْ حُلَلاَ

    And the light clothed the unveiled faces of the flowers in ornaments

    That resembled robes.

  3. وَالنجم سَرَى وللغُروبِ ارْتَحَلاَ

    حَتَّى انْتَحَلاَ

    And the star traveled by night and departed toward its setting,

    Until it dwindled.
