طالَت عَلَيَّ لَيلي الصَومَ وَاِتَّصَلَت

حَتّى لَقَد خِلتُها زادَت عَلى العَدَدِ

My fasting nights stretched long upon me, one after another;

until, indeed, I thought they had grown beyond all counting—

شَوقاً إِلى مَجلِسٍ يَزهو بِساكِنِهِ

أَعيذُهُ بِجَلالِ الواحِدِ الصِمَدِ

for longing for a gathering made radiant by the one within,

whom I commend to the majestic protection of the One, the Eternal Refuge.
