بَدرٌ بَدا يَحمِلُ شَمساً بَدَت

بَدرٌ بَدا يَحمِلُ شَمساً بَدَت

وَحدُّها في الحُسنِ مِن حِدِّهِ

وَحدُّها في الحُسنِ مِن حِدِّهِ

A full moon appeared, bearing a sun that appeared;

The full moon appears, bearing a sun that has risen,

And its measure of beauty comes from his own.

Unique in beauty, perfectly made.

تَغرُبُ في فيهِ وَلَكنّها

تَغرُبُ في فيهِ وَلَكنّها

مِن بَعد ذا تطلُعُ في خَدِّهِ

مِن بَعد ذا تطلُعُ في خَدِّهِ

It sets in his mouth, but

It sets in his mouth, but after this

after this it rises in his cheek.

It rises again on his cheek.
