8 The commentary of al-Qa si dah A nation was blessed by having been able to see you, while many heard of the full moon which has captivated my heart. People shed tears when they fondly reminisce of your grace and beauty; A fire consumes their hearts due to the pains of separation. I see their hearts are in such anxiety as if they have reached their throats ; I see that their eyes are flowing with tears. O you who are the sun and moon of light; You have illuminated the day and the night.
