1. وليلة زارني بدري وبتنا

    على ضم وقد غفل الرقيب

    One night my full moon visited me, and we spent the night

    In an embrace, while the watcher was heedless.

  2. كأن بها الهلال يد ثناها

    محب أو توسدها الطبيب

    The crescent that night seemed a hand bent by

    A lover, or used as a pillow by the physician.
