عطية إن ذقت طعم الحمام

فإن فراقك عندي أمر

If I taste the flavor of pigeons

Then parting from you is unbearable

هوى كوكب منك بعد الطلوع

ذوى غصن منك بعد الثمر

A planet has set for me after rising

A branch has withered from you after fruiting

ولو لم تكن قمراً زاهراً

لما مت عند خسوف القمر

Had you not been a shining moon

I would not have died at the moon's eclipse
