أقول له وقد أبصرت مَرأى

يُحاكى غُرَّةَ القَمر المُنيرِ

I say to him as I have seen a sight

That emulates the radiance of the shining moon

وَأخلاقاً كما مُزِجت شَمولٌ

تُدارُ عليك بالعَذب النَمير

And morals blended wholesomely

Revolved around you with the sweetest pure water

ولي حالٌ يُنافرها التَصابي

وقد حالت بإلمام النَذير

And I have a state that contends with it

And has turned with knowing the Warner

لقد أبديتَ لي حُسناً وَحُسنى

ولكن جِئتَ في الزَمن الأخير

You have certainly shown me beauty and favor

But you have come in the latter time
