1. I turn my gaze that I may encounter my beloved
That he may envelope me in his joyous vision
١. أُديرُ الطَّرفَ كي أَلقى حَبيبي
لِيَشمَلَني بِرُؤياهُ السُّرورُ
2. Yet that is but an error on my part, else
When has the full moon been seen on the earth?
٢. وذَاكَ ضَلاَلةٌ منيِّ وإِلاَّ
مَتَى رُؤِيت على الأَرضِ البُدورُ
