بِي شّادِنٌ تَمَّ سَنَاءً وَسَنًى

مِنْ أجْلِ ذَا قَالُوا هُوّ البَدْرُ التَّمَامْ

My cheeks have been afflicted with leanness and emaciation

Because of that, they said he is the full moon in perfection

مَا لامَ فِيهِ عَاذِلِي حَتَّى رَأى

عَارِضَهُ خَطَّ بِلَوْح الخَدّ لامْ

No one blamed him until he saw

His cheekbone has been marked with a beauty spot, blameworthy

أغْرَقَ انْسَانِي بِبَحْرِ مَدمعِي

يَا لَيْتَهُ لَوْ سَحَّ شَهْراً ثُمَّ عَامْ

He drowned my humanity in a sea of my tears

Oh, if only he had disappeared for a month, then for a year

يَبْخَلُ بِالْوَصْلِ وَالسَّلاَمِ وَمَا

أرِيدُ إلاَّ وَصْلَهُ وَالسَّلاَمْ

He is stingy in union and greeting, while I

Want nothing but his union and greeting
