شَغلتُ بسمعانِّي مروٍ مَسامعي

فحزتُ المُنى من أَوحدِ العصرِ فَردِهِ

I occupied my hearing with a flowing spring,

So I obtained wishes from the Unique of the Age and its match.

وأُلبستُ زيّاً من نسائجِ وَشيِهِ

وقُلِّدتُ سمطاً من جواهِرِ عقدِهِ

And I was clothed in a garment from the fabrics of its love,

And I was adorned with a necklace from the jewels of its chain.

وسرَّحتُ منه الطرفَ في متواضعٍ

أتى نحوَهُ الجبّارُ وهْوَ ابنُ عَبْدِهِ

And from it I let my eyes roam freely in humility,

The Almighty came toward it while it is the son of His servant.

فباتَ عزيزَ العيشِ في بيتِ عزِّهِ

وظلَّ قريرَ العَينِ في ظلِّ مَجْدِهِ

So the dear life spent the night in the house of its glory,

And it remained blissful and gratified in the shade of its magnificence.
