شَفَقٌ وَشَتهُ خُضرَةٌ في حُمرَةٍ

فَكَأَنَّهُ خَدُّ الحَبيبِ مُعَرَّضا

The afterglow and its scattering greenness in redness

As if it were the cheek of a beloved displayed

وَالشَمسُ تَنظُرُ نَحوَهُ مُصفَرَّةً

قَد شَمَّرَت ذَيلَ الوَداعِ لِتَنهَضا

And the sun looks towards it yellowed

Having rolled up the tail of farewell to rise

كَالصَبِّ حينَ رَأى عِذارَ حَبيبِهِ

لَمّا بَدا فَسَلا وَوَلّى مُعرِضا

Like a young man when he saw his beloved's excuses

When he turned away indifferent having bid farewell
