نَشَرَت غَدائِرَ شَعرِها لِتُظِلَّني

خَوفَ العُيونِ مِنَ الوُشاةِ الرُمَّقِ

She spread her braids to shade me

Lest spies' eyes perceive us

فَكَأَنَّهُ وَكَأَنَّها وَكَأَنَّني

صُبحانِ باتا تَحتَ لَيلٍ مُطبَقِ

So it was as though it were he and she and I

Who yesterday night beneath a starry tent did lie
