أتَزْعُمُ أَن الفِطْرَ طُوَّقَنا شُكْرا

ووجهُكَ قبلَ الفطرِ كان لنا فطرا

You claim that nature has circled us with gratitude

Yet your face, before nature, was our nature

هلالٌ بدا في إِثرِ بَدْرِ وَمَنْ رأى ال

هلالَ فأحرى أن يكونَ رأى البدرا

A crescent appeared after the full moon, and he who saw the

Crescent, it is more fitting that he saw the full moon

لقد خلتُ شهرَ الصومِ يوماً ولم أَزَلْ

إذا صُمْتُ يوماً واحداً خلتُهُ شهرا

I have passed the month of fasting one day, and I have not ceased

If I fasted a single day, I would count it as a month

ولو أنَّ نفسي خُيِّرَتْ بين هجركمْ

مُنَايَ وبين الموتِ ما اختارتِ الهجرا

And if my soul was given a choice between your estrangement

As my intimate, and between death, it would not choose estrangement
