يا من زهت عن أن تماشي شخصها

قمراً وعن غصنِ الرياض تماشي

O you who walked away from walking like her

A moon, and from the branch of gardens, walked away

عكس الضنى والسهد حالي فاغْتدى

نومي سباتي والنهار معاشي

The opposite of sorrow and happiness is my state, so be cheerful

My sleep, my slumber, and the day my livelihood
