1. I told the horizon's splendor in my delight
And forged its stars for me as swords
١. حَكَيْتُ سَنا الأفْقِ في بهْجَتي
وصُغْتُ كواكِبَهُ لي نِصالا
2. And from wonder, the face of Ibn Nasr's son
Is dawn, rising in me as a crescent moon
٢. ومِن عجَبٍ أنّ وجْهَ ابْنِ نصْرٍ
صباحٌ ويُطْلِعُ منّي هِلالا
