من بَعدِ ذا اليوم يَلقَى قَلبُه أَسَفا

مُذ نَالَ من وَصلِهِ بالجزعِ ما سَلَفا

After this day his heart will find sorrow

Since he attained from his union what had passed

نالَ الُمنى وَصَفا ظلُّ الأُثيلِ لَهُ

وَطابَ واخضرَّ عيشُ الُمنحنَى وَصَفا

He attained wishes, the shade of companionship was good for him

And the life of the bent-over one became good and green

وَلَّت ليالي القِلى والهَجرِ وانصَرَمت

وَأَنجدت أَهَلُ نَجدٍ مُغرَماً دَنِفا

The nights of yearning and estrangement have passed

And the people of Najd were rescued by a tender lover

ما ضَنَّ عَصرُ الحمِىَ فالنَّجدُ طائِرُهُ ال

مَيمونُ في دَوحِهِ بالوَصلِ قَد هَتَفا

The time of ardour was not miserly, and its lucky bird is

Auspicious in its atmosphere with the union it cheered for

لا يَسأَلُ الرَّكبَ يوماً بَعدَها خَبَراً

ولا يجوبُ الثَّنايا والحِمَى كَلِفا

It will never ask the traveling group after it for news

Nor roam the slopes and ardours anxiously

يا مائِسَ البانِ لا تَعطِف وَقِف خَجِلاً

فَأَيسرُ العِطفِ يَومَ السَّفحِ قَد عَطَفا

O passer of ruins do not turn, stand embarrassed

For the easiest turn was the day of the lowland it turned to

ويا عُيونَ الَمها غُضِّي فَقَد نَظَرت

أحداقُهُ وَسَلي أَجفانُهُ وَطَفا

And O eyes of the prolific, diminish for his glances have looked

His eyelids flowed and his eyelashes folded

ويا سَنا الفَجرِ هذا فَجرُ غُرَّتِهِ

يُبدي السَّناءَ فَهَلاَّ جِئتَ مُعترفَا

And O dawn glow this is the dawn of his passion

Revealing joy, so why have you not come confessing

مُهفهَفٌ ما انثنَت أَعطافُهُ مَرَحاً

إِلاَّ وَزادَت على طولِ الَمدى هَيَفا

Fluttering, its fold never bent playfully

Except it increased upon the length of the course windingly

يُهدي إِلى البَدرِ نُوراً من مَحاسِنهِ

وَمِن ذَوائبِهِ يَكسو الدُّجَى سَدَفا

It guides light to the full moon from its beauty

And with its tresses it clothes the darkness with curtains
