By the one who visited me hiding,

بأبي من زارني مكتتما

1. By the one who visited me hiding,
Fearing everything, anxious,

١. بِأَبي من زارَني مُكتَتِماً
خائِفاً من كُلِّ شَيءٍ جَزِعا

2. A visitor whose beauty slept upon him,
How can the night conceal a rising moon?

٢. زائِرٌ نَمَّ عَلَيهِ حُسنُهُ
كَيفَ يُخفي اللَيلُ بَدراً طَلعا

3. He watched for negligence until it enabled him,
And herded the sleepless one until she slept,

٣. راقَبَ الغَفلَةَ حَتّى أَمكَنَت
وَرَعى السامِرَ حَتّى هَجَعا

4. He rode dangers in his visit,
Then did not leave until he bade farewell.

٤. رَكبَ الأَهوالَ في زَورَتِهِ
ثُمَّ ما سَلَّم حَتّى وَدَّع
