ذُعِرتُ بِقُمرِيٍّ أَغَنَّ يَنوحُ

عَشِيَّةَ رُحنا وَالدُموعُ سُفوحُ

I trembled at a moonlit one who sang with weeping

In the evening we departed and tears flowed freely

تَفَجَّعَ نَحوي صَوتُهُ فَنَصَرتُهُ

بِدَمعي وَأَنضاءُ المَطِيِّ جُنوحُ

His voice lamented towards me so I helped him

With my tears and the she camel’s returning was delayed
