لَمّا حَصَلنا عَلى العَشرِ الَّتي بَقِيَت

وَأَدبَرَ الشَهرُ عَنّا بَعدَ إِقبالِ

When we reached the ten days that remained

And the month turned away from us after prosperity

وَآنَسَت لَهَواتي بَعدَ ما لَفَظَت

طَعمَ الصِيامِ حَديثاً طَعمَ شَوّالِ

And my desires sensed, after having relinquished

The taste of fasting, the fresh taste of Shawwal

أُريتُ ذا رَبعَةٍ في العَينِ مِن قِصَرٍ

وَذاكَ أَطوَلُ مِن شاهِ بنِ ميكالِ

I was shown a moon in the eye from a palace

And that is taller than Shah Bin Mikal
