1. يا ليلةَ وصلٍ صُبْحُها لم يَلُحِ

    مِنْ أَوَّلها شربته في قَدَحي

    O night of union, whose dawn has not appeared!

    At its beginning, I drank it from my cup.

  2. لمّا قصُرَت طَاَلتْ وطَابَتْ بِلُقا

    بَدْرٍ مِحَني في حُبِّهِ من منحي

    When it grew short, it lengthened and grew sweet through meeting

    A full moon—my trials in loving him are among my blessings.
