عابَ لَمّا غابَ عَن مَشهَدِ قَلبي

فَرضَ حُبّي أَكمَهٌ عَن قُرطِ حُبّي

When he was absent from the sight of my heart

My love imposed silence on the earring of my love

لَو رَأى الشَنَفَينِ ما لامَ فَتى

أَبَداً لِلشَوقِ بِاللُبِّ يُلَبّي

Had he seen the two lips, he would not blame the lad

Who forever answers the call of yearning

وَلَأَضحى مِثلَ قَولي قائِلاً

رَبُّ ذَينِ الكَوكَبَينِ الحَقُّ رَبّي

And he would say, like my words:

"The Lord of those two planets is my true Lord."
