يا من زهت عن أن تماشي شخصها

قمراً وعن غصنِ الرياض تماشي
O you whose form is too proud to walk beside
O you who walked away from walking like her
A moon, and whose gait disdains the gardens’ bough;
A moon, and from the branch of gardens, walked away
عكسreversed الضنىwasting sickness والسهدand sleeplessness حاليmy state فاغْتدىand so became
عكس الضنى والسهد حالي فاغْتدى
نوميmy sleep سباتيmy slumber والنهارand daytime معاشيmy livelihood
نومي سباتي والنهار معاشي
Wasting sickness and sleeplessness reversed my state, so that
The opposite of sorrow and happiness is my state, so be cheerful
My sleep became my slumber, and daytime my livelihood.
My sleep, my slumber, and the day my livelihood
