تَرامى شُعاعُ الشّمسِ عَنها نِيابَةً

عَلى رِجلِ بَدرِ الحسنِ كلا وَقَبّلا

The sun's rays extend in her stead

Upon the feet of the full moon of beauty, kissing them over and over

تَرجّاه في عَفوٍ لَها عَن قُصورِها

فَقَبَّل رِجلَيهِ وَأَبدى التّذلُّلا

She implores him in mercy for her shortcomings

He kisses her feet and shows utter humility
