1. The moon whose light has spread upon him
How can the night conceal a rising full moon?
١. قَمَرٌ نَمَّ عَلَيهِ نورُهُ
كَيفَ يُخفي اللَيلُ بَدراً طَلَعا
2. He watched solitude until it enabled him
And kept vigil until it slept
٢. رَصَدَ الخَلوَةَ حَتّى أَمكَنَت
وَرَعى الساهِرَ حَتّى هَجَعا
3. He rode dangers in their visits
Then did not bid farewell until he bade them adieu
٣. رَكِبَ الأَخطارَ في زَورَتِهِ
ثُمَّ ما سَلَّمَ حَتّى وَدَّعا
