قَيَّدَني الحُبُّ وَخَلّاها

وَلَجَّ بي سُقمٌ وَعافاها

Love has enchained me, while it let her go,

Sickness afflicts me, while it grants her health.

كِدتُ أَقولُ البَدرُ شِبهٌ لَها

أَجعَلُها كَالبَدرِ حاشاها

I was about to say the full moon resembles her,

But I dare not compare her to the radiant moon.
