وَآنسني فيك النجومُ برعيها

فدريُّها حَليٌ وَبَدرُ الدُّجى إلفي

The stars befriend me with their grazing,

Their scattering is jewelry, and the full moon is my intimate.

كَأَنَّ سَماءَ الأَرضِ نِطعُ زُمُرُّدٍ

وَقَد فُرِشَت فيهِ الدَّنانير لِلصَّرفِ

As though the sky of the earth is brocaded emerald,

With dinars spread over it for spending.
