1. والبدرُ يجنحُ للغروبِ ومُهجتي

    لفراقِ مُشبههِ أسى يتقطَّعُ

    And the full moon leans toward setting, while my heart

    is torn with sorrow at parting from the one who resembles it.

  2. والشَّربُ قد خلطَ النُّعاسُ جفونهم

    والصُّبحُ مِن جلبابِهِ يتطلَّعُ

    And drowsiness has drawn the drinking companions’ eyelids together,

    while dawn peers out from its cloak.
