The moment passed in union

فتك اللحظ وصالا

1. The moment passed in union
When I had wished for union

١. فَتَكَ اللحظَ وصَالا
إذ تمنّيت وصَالا

2. And the brow came near to shoot
Without my shooting arrows

٢. ودنا الحاجب يرمي
دون ما رُمتُ نبالا

3. And my writing missed its mark
So it captured a soul and wealth

٣. وخطا خطي قدٍّ
فسبى روحاً ومالا

4. And bent over gently
So it spread out and then allure

٤. وتنثني سمهرياً
فسطا ثم دلالا

5. And hair flowed so if not
For the mouth's lightning smiles

٥. ودجا الشعر فلولا
بارق الثغر تلالا

6. The ardour would have seen
From its coverings, misguidance

٦. لرأى الصبّ هُداه
من دياجيه ضلالا

7. O essence of beauty, wait
If the ardour's patience failed

٧. يا مَهاة الحُسن مهلاً
إن صبر الصبّ زالا

8. Passion found its warmth
With burning in the heart roamed

٨. أوجد الوجدُ ضناه
بجوى في القلب جالا

9. Does it have a promise of union
Or does it see that impossible

٩. هل له بالوصل وعد
أم يرى ذاك مُحالا

10. So turn away from it, and leave it
In intentions, hoping for attainment

١٠. فعديه ودعيه
في النّوى يرجو نوالا
