نَهَدتُ إِلى الهِندِ في فِتيَةٍ

مِنَ العَرَبِ جارِهِمُ لا يُضامُ

I roamed to India with Arab youths

Whose neighbors they wrong not at all

غَراماً بِسامي الذُرى وَصلُهُ

بِغَيرِ بَني حامِهِ لا يُسامُ

Yearning for the most sublime of creatures and joining him

With other than the sons of Ham, no injustice done

حَبيبٌ أَبى أَن يَرى مَربَعاً

وَلَيسَ لَهُ في رُباهُ مَقامُ

A beloved who refused to see a square house

And had no place of rest in his dwellings

فَلَم أَرَ داراً سِوى دارِهِ

وَما لِسواهُ بِها وَالخِيامُ

So I saw no other house but his house

And none possessed it save for the tents

هُوَ الكُلُّ لا غَيرُهُ كُلُّهُ

فَكُلٌّ بِهِ مُغرَمٌ مُستَهامُ

He is the whole, none other, the whole of him

So all are enamored and beside themselves for him
