هوى علمهُ الهجرا

وحسنٌ زادَهُ كبرا

His love has taught me separation

And elegance has added to his nobility

ولا أحبسُ لي دمعاً

ولا أملكُ لي صبرا

I have no tears left that I can withhold

Nor can I control my patience anymore

ألا يا أيها البدرُ

أما تقبلُ لي عذرا

Oh Full moon!

Will you not accept my apology?

ألستَ الدهرَ مَوصولاً

بشوقٍ جاوزَ القدرا

Are you not destined throughout the ages

To yearn beyond what is fated
