نور من البدر أحياناً فيبليها
You see the linen garments, upon which gleams
The linen clothes are touched
Light from the full moon at times, wearing them out.
By the moonlight occasionally thus soiling them

How, then, can it be denied that her veils wear out,
So how can he deny that their collars are worn
While the full moon rises within them at every moment?
When the moon rises on them all the time
