1. أشكو إلى البدر ليالي الجفا

    وليس يدري ما بمضناك

    I complain to the full moon of nights of estrangement,

    and it does not know what ails your lovesick one.

  2. فهو سميري أتسلى به

    وإنما البدر محياكِ

    For it is my companion by night; I find solace in it,

    and the full moon is none other than your face.
