Ever new thou becomest, being born; of days a signal, of dawns thou goest in the forefront. As thou movest, thou duly dealest out the gods their portion: O Moon, stretch forth for us long life.
चाँद, तुम हर बार नया बन के आते हो। दिन का चमकता हुआ निशानी हो, सुबह के पहले आते हो। भगवान के लिए हिस्सा बांटते हुए चलते हो। चाँद, हमारे लिए लंबी उम्र दो।
