وشادنٍ ذي لِحيَةٍ قد غَدتْ

مِنْ وجههِ الأقَمرِ في حَيِّزِ

With a beard that has become,

From his moon-like face, a place to reside

فَقُلْ لذي العَذْل الَّذي عابَهُ

Say to the one of justice, who blamed him,

With the words of a concise lover

لا بدَّ للأفلاك من مركزِ

It has become like the full moon of the cosmos

The cosmos must have a center
