1. Patience refused that I don't see the full moon rising
Nor the sun except reminding me of Ghalib

2. They were similar to Layla's son, and whoever is
Similar to Layla's son outshines the stars

3. He was a young man whom the kings didn't veil
When he passed one day between a door and an eyebrow

4. As if Tameem was not afflicted by any calamity
Nor any misfortune before the day of Ibn Ghalib

5. And if the mountains felt crushed and withered
They would incline towards the hillsides and shoulders
