لَقَد شَبهت بِالفلك اِعتِباراً

لَما قَد كانَ مِن أَمر مُديري

I have indeed resembled the stars in their course

For what has come to pass in my state of affairs

وَلَكن ذاكَ مفتضح هِلالاً

وَمُستَتر هِلالي في ضَميري

Yet they shine bare as the crescent moon revealed

While my crescent is veiled, hidden in my heart
