1. قيلَ لي خَفِيتَ قلْتُ كَبَدْرٍ

    صارَ يخفى مِن بَعدِ أنْ كانَ بَدْرا

    I was told I hid, I said like a full moon

    That comes to hide after having been a full moon

  2. أنا خافٍ كَليلةِ القَدْرِ في النَّا

    سِ وعالٍ كَليلَةِ القَدْرِ قَدْرا

    I'm hiding like the Night of Value in people

    And high like the Night of Value in worth

  3. ولا أصافِحُ إنساً بعدَ فرقَتِكُمْ

    حتَّى يصافِحَ كَفُّ اللاّمِسِ القَمَرا

    And I won't shake hands with anyone after your separation

    Until the palm of the non-touching shakes the moon

  4. ولا أملُّ مدى الأياّامِ ذِكرَكُمُ

    حتَّى يملَّ النَسيمُ الرَّوضَةَ السَّحَرا

    And I won't get bored remembering you all the days

    Until the morning breeze gets bored of the garden
