1. A moon eclipsed by excessive coquetry
Its rule over me forever imposed
١. قَمَرٌ يُحَجِّبُهُ دَلَالٌ مُفْرِطُ
سُلْطَانَهُ أَبداً عَليَّ مُسلَّطُ
2. My pact with it limited despite its beauty
Yet in slaying me it's immoderately disposed
٢. عَهْدِي بِهِ مُتَناهِياً في حُسْنِهِ
لَكِنَّهُ فِي قَتْلَتِي مُتَوسِّطُ
