كَنَبْتُ وَلَحظي قد تَبدَّلَ نَرجساً
بورْد وَدَمعي قَدْ تَساقطَ مَنْثورا
I grew and my gaze has changed into a narcissus
My tears have fallen scattered like rose petals
وَلي زمناً يا نور لم أركم به
وَغَايةُ بُرء العين أَنْ تُبصِرَ النّورا
And I have a time, O light, when I did not see you
The pinnacle of innocence is for the eye to see the light
