هَذا محيّاهُ إِذ دارَ العِذارُ به

بَدرٌ وَهالتُه في رُؤيَةِ البصرِ

This is his greeting as reproach circulated about him

A full moon, its halo in the vision of sight

فَجَوهَرُ النورِ فيه يا مُؤرّخه

يَقومُ وَالمِسكُ أَمسى هالةَ القمَرِ

So the essence of light in it, O historian,

Rises while musk has become the moon's aura
