قد حال للموعد المأمولِ حولانِ

وقد تلا ذنيك الحولَيْن شهرانِ

The time for the hoped-for tryst has come around,

And two months have passed since your two sins.

ولو زرعتُ حصى المعزاء أثمر لي

مذ ذاك شيئاً ولو في متن صفوانِ

If I had sowed Ma'zâ's pebbles, they would have produced

Something for me since then, even in the desert of Safwân.
