للهِ مَنْزِلُنا بقَريَةِ بَيِّشِ

كادَ الهَوى فيها ادِّكاراً بِي يَشي

Our abode in the village of Baysh belongs to God

Love therein nearly caused my demise

رُحنْا إليْها والبِطاحُ كأنّها

صُحفٌ مُذَهَّبةٌ بإبْريز العَشي

We headed to it while the sand dunes were like

Gilded parchments at dusk's fall
