يلجف الأرض كلما انساب فيها

يلجف الأرض كلما انساب فيها

حللا من إهابه شملالا

حللا من إهابه شملالا

It clothes the earth whenever it glides across it,

Over the earth he glides, leaving behind

in robes of its own hide, swift and nimble.

Trails of his robe, trailing shawls.

فإذا ما استقام كان قضيبا

فإذا ما استقام كان قضيبا

وإذا ما استدار كان هلالا

وإذا ما استدار كان هلالا

Then, when it straightens, it is a slender rod,

If he moves straight, he is a staff,

and when it curves, it is a crescent.

If he coils, he becomes a crescent moon.
