اِستَزارَتهُ فِكرَتي في المَنامِ

فَأَتاني في خُفيَةٍ وَاِكتِتامِ

My thoughts begged him at night

So he came to me in the dark's disguise and concealment

اللَيالي أَحفى بِقَلبي إِذا ما

جَرَحَتهُ النَوى مِنَ الأَيّامِ

The nights wrap my heart when

The days wound it with their sorrows

يا لَها لَذَّةً تَنَزَّهَتِ الأَر

واحُ فيها سِرّاً مِنَ الأَجسامِ

Oh, the bliss in them as the souls

Wander, a secret from the bodies

مَجلِسٌ لَم يَكُن لَنا فيهِ عَيبٌ

غَيرَ أَنّا في دَعوَةِ الأَحلامِ

A gathering where we had no fault

Except being in the call of dreams
