الغصن منسوبٌ إلى قده

والورد منثورً على خدهِ

The branch is attributed to its trunk

And the rose scattered on its cheek

بدرٌ يود البدر في حسنه

بأنه يُعزى إلى عبده

A full moon that wishes for the full moon in its beauty

That it is attributed to its servant

سألته في صحوة قبلةً

فردني والموت في رده

I asked him soberly for a kiss

But he refused me and death was in his refusal

حتى إذا السكر لوى رأسه

قبلته ألفاً بلا حمده

Until when intoxication twisted his head

I kissed him a thousand times without his praise
