لقد راعَني بدرُ السَّما بصُدودِهِ

ووَكَّل أجفاني بَرعْيِ كواكِبِهْ

The full moon disturbed me with its brightness

And my eyelids were commissioned with grazing its stars

فيا مُهجَتي لا تجزَعي من جَفائِهِ

ويا كَبِدي صَبْراً على ماكواكِ بِهْ

So my inner self, do not despair from its indifference

And my heart, have patience for what it has afflicted you with
