أُديرُ الطَّرفَ كي أَلقى حَبيبي

لِيَشمَلَني بِرُؤياهُ السُّرورُ

I turn my gaze that I may encounter my beloved

That he may envelope me in his joyous vision

وذَاكَ ضَلاَلةٌ منيِّ وإِلاَّ

مَتَى رُؤِيت على الأَرضِ البُدورُ

Yet that is but an error on my part, else

When has the full moon been seen on the earth?
