1. I thank God for fasting, for it made
My short passion become long in it
١. شكر اللهُ للصيامِ فقد أَضْـ
ـحَى غَرَامِي القصيرُ فيه طَويلاَ
2. It revealed the musk from the pillows of one I love
And increased the leanness in it to become leaner
٢. أَظهَرَ المِسْكَ عَنْ مَراشِفِ من أَهْـ
ـوَى وزاد الذُّبُولَ فيه ذُبُولاَ
3. And it clothed his cheek, becoming emaciated
So it became like the cheek I desire, smooth
٣. وكسا خدُّه نُحولاً فأَضْحَى
مِثْلَ ما أَشْتَهِيهِ خَدّاً أَسِيلاَ
