كيف يطولُ الدجى عليَّ وقد
أمسيتُ أضطرُّه إلى القِصَرِ
How can the dark of night drag on for me, when
How can the night linger for me when
I have come to compel it to be brief?
I make it hurry to the shortness
أدسُّ تحتَ الظلام منزلةً
في أختِها من مَنازِلِ القَمَرِ
Beneath the darkness, I secretly slip one lodging
I build under the darkness a house
inside its sister, among the mansions of the moon.
Like its sister from the houses of the moon
