لقد راعَني بدرُ السَّما بصُدودِهِ

لقد راعَني بدرُ السَّما بصُدودِهِ

ووَكَّل أجفاني بَرعْيِ كواكِبِهْ

ووَكَّل أجفاني بَرعْيِ كواكِبِهْ

The full moon of heaven has indeed dismayed me with his rejection.

The full moon disturbed me with its brightness

And charged my eyelids with watching over his stars.

And my eyelids were commissioned with grazing its stars

فيا مُهجَتي لا تجزَعي من جَفائِهِ

فيا مُهجَتي لا تجزَعي من جَفائِهِ

ويا كَبِدي صَبْراً على ماكواكِ بِهْ

ويا كَبِدي صَبْراً على ماكواكِ بِهْ

So, O my heart's blood, do not be distraught at his coldness.

So my inner self, do not despair from its indifference

And O my liver, endure patiently what he has seared you with.

And my heart, have patience for what it has afflicted you with
