THE FULL MOON HAS RISEN OVER US,

WAKHTAFAT MINHUL BUDURU

ECLIPSING ALL OTHER MOONS,

MITHLA HUSNIKA MA RA’AINA

SUCH AS YOUR BEAUTY WE HAVE NEVER SEEN,

QAŢŢU YA WAJHAA SURURI

NO, NEVER, O FACE OF DELIGHT!

 

ANTA SHAMSUN ANTA BADRUN

YOU ARE A SUN, YOU ARE A FULL MOON,

ANTA NURUN FAWQA NURI

YOU ARE LIGHT UPON LIGHT,

ANTA IKSIRUL WUJUDI

YOU ARE THE QUINTESSENCE OF EXISTENCE,

ANTA MIŞBA HUŞUDURI

YOU ARE THE LAMP IN EVERY BREAST.

O MY BELOVED, O MUHAMMAD (SAW)

O BRIDEGROOM OF THE EAST AND THE WEST,

YA MU’AYYAD YA MUMAJJAD

THE ONE ALAH (SWT) INDICATED AND EXALTED,

YA IMAM AL QIBLATAYNI

O IMAM OF THE TWO DIRECTIONS!
