كَذَبتَ يا مَن لَحاني في مَحَبَّتِهِ

ما صورَةُ البَدرِ إِلّا مِثلُ صورَتِهِ

You have lied, O you who blame me for my love,

The image of the full moon is nothing but his image.

يا رَبِّ إِن لَم يَكُن في وَصلِهِ طَمَعٌ

وَلَم يَكُن فَرَجٌ مِن طولِ هِجرَتِهِ

O Lord, if there is no hope in union with him,

And no relief from the agony of his abandonment,

فَاِشفِ السِقامَ الَّذي في لَحظِ مُقلَتِهِ

وَاِستُر مَلاحَةَ خَدَّيهِ بِلِحيَتِهِ

Then heal the sickness that is in the gaze of my eyes,

And cover the beauty of his cheeks with his beard.
