أيا من كله قمر

وكل لحاظه حورٌ

O you whose face is like the moon

And skin like heavenly maidens

لقد طالت عداتك لي

وأيامي بها قصر

Your absence has been prolonged for me

While my days without you are shortened

متى في البرج تحصل كي

تزيف ويهدر الذكر

When will you be found in this abode

So fondness spreads and thoughts scatter

وتنشر بيننا قبلٌ

يطير لنارها شرر

And intimacy kindles between us

Sparks flying from its flames
