طَيفٌ لَكَ زائِري جَميلُ الوَصفِ

قَد صارَ لِكَثرَةِ التَداني أَلفي

A beautiful apparition visiting me

Has become my bosom friend from frequent visitation

ما اِفتَقَدَني وَقَد تَمَتَّتُ بِهِ

لَو صُبَّ عَلَيَّ نَومُ أَهلِ الكَهفِ

It has not missed me, wherewith it has become my habit

Even if the sleep of the People of the Cave were cast upon me
