1. يا سالباً قَمَرَ السّماء جَمالَهُ

    ألبَستَني للحزْنِ ثوبَ سمائِهِ

    O you who robbed the moon in the sky of its beauty,

    You clothed me for mourning in the robe of its sky.

  2. أضرَمْتَ قلبي فارتمى بشرارةٍ

    وَقَعَتْ بخدّكَ فانطَفَتْ من مائِهِ

    You set my heart ablaze, so it flung out a spark

    That fell on your cheek and was quenched by its water.
