1. O moon that fills
the eyes of whoever contemplates,
١. أَيُّها البَدرُ الَّذي
يَملَأُ عَينَي مَن تَأَمَّل
2. My heart is burdened with sadness that will not
cease, so bear with me.
٢. حُمِّلَ القَلبُ تَباريحَ ال
تَجَنّي فَتَحَمَّل
3. I have no beautiful patience
except that I pretend.
٣. لَيسَ لي صَبرٌ جَميلٌ
غَيرَ أَنّي أَتَجَمَّل
4. Then there is no despair, for how often
is a thing attained that was not hoped for.
٤. ثُمَّ لا يَأسَ فَكَم قَد
نيلَ أَمرٌ لَم يُؤَمَّل
