طالعَتْني كطُلوعِ ال

بَدْرِ في وَجْهِ الصَّباحِ

She rose before me like the moon

Rising at dawn, a morning

كَصَباحٍ تَحْتَ لَيْلٍ

وَدَعَتْني لاصْطِباحِ

Under the veil of night,

And called me to be whole.

فَأَجَبْناها بِلا مَنْ

عٍ إِلى تَرْكِ الصَّلاحِ

So we answered without restraint,

Abandoning rectitude,

وَوَصَلْناها وَمَنْ يَصْ

بِرُ عَنْ وَصْلِ المِلاحِ

And reached her, for who can refrain

From joining the salt to the sweet?
