1. He set forth, leaving behind his campsite and belongings,
And the radiance of his journey made him forget their loss.
١. سَرى عائِفاً مِن عُرفهِ وَحُليهِ
فَأَمنهَ زيُّ السُرى عَن حُجولِهِ
2. At first I was his companion, then the next morning, I complained -
Yet to deny the beauty of his face is to deny all beauty.
٢. صَحباً ثُمَّ أَصبحتُ شاكِياً
وَشُكرُ جَميل الوَجهِ جَحد جَميلهِ
