تَناحَلَ جِسمي بِالهَوى وَقَدِ اِختَفى

وَخَفّ فَأَضحى طائِراً في الهَواءِ

My body melted away in passionate love and disappeared

It became light and turned into a bird in the air

وَلَيسَ يَراني غير طرفٍ مُحدّق

حَديد بِضَوءِ الشّمسِ بَينَ الهباءِ

No one sees me except an attentive glance

Like iron glistening in the sun among the dust
