1. With the beloved's company, the night talk is delightful,
And my eyes relish the long wakefulness.
١. بِأُنسِ الحَبيبِ يَطيبُ السَمَر
وَتَلتَذُّ عَينايَ طولَ السَهَر
2. When I reproach him once,
God suffices me with the moonlight.
٢. إِذا أَنا نادَمتُهُ مَرَّةً
كَفاني بِهِ اللَهُ ضَوءَ القَمَر
3. Visit the hopes often even if they abandon you,
So cry often, for the worst lovers are those who endured.
٣. إِرعَ المُنى واصِلاً وَإِن هَجَرا
فَاِجزَع فَشَرُّ العُشّاقِ مَن صَبَرا
4. How good is patience in its contexts,
Not from a loving, gentle, virgin beloved.
٤. ما أَحسَنَ الصَبرَ في مَواطِنِهِ
لا عَن حَبيبٍ لِطِيَّةٍ بَكَرا
5. He couldn't overtly bid farewell,
So he secretly bid peace with the eye.
٥. لَم يَستَطِع ظاهِرَ الوَداعِ مِنَ ال
عَينِ فَأَوحى السَلامَ مُستَتِرا
