صَاحِي الجَوانحِ لَسْتُ مِنْهُ بِصَاحي

سَلَبَ الجُسُومَ وهَمَّ بِالأَرْوَاحِ

My companion of sorrows, I am no companion of his

He stole resolve and intended the souls

يَا بَدْرُ قَدْ سَدَّ العَزامُ مَسالِكي

فأَنِرْ بِوَجْهِكَ مَسْرَحِي ومَرَاحِي

O moon, the resolute have blocked my paths

So light up my stage and resting places with your face

قَدْ حِرْتُ فِيكَ بِمَنْ أَرُومُ تَشفّعاً

حَتَّى تَفُوزَ مَقاصِدِي بِنَجَاحِ

I have pleaded in you the one I intend to intercede

So my aims succeed and attain triumph

بِفُؤَادِي المُرْتَاحِ أم بِسُهَادِيَ ال

فَضَّاحِ أَمْ بِودَادِيَ الوَضَّاحِ

Is it with my contented heart or my vigilant self

Or my evident affection?

فَبِعَرْفِكَ الفَيَّاحِ أو فَبِطرْفِكِ ال

سَفّاحِ أَوْ فبِعطْفِكَ الرَّمَّاحِ

So by your magnanimity, or by your flirtatious glance

Or by your gentle sympathy

لا تَرْقُدَنْ عَنْ ساهرٍ في لَيْلةٍ

مُذْ غَابَ وَجْهُكَ لم يَفُزْ بِصَباحِ

Do not sleep away from a wakeful one on a night

Since your face set, he attained no dawn
