بل ربَّ مُذْهبةِ المزاجِ ومُذْهَبٍ

راحا براحةِ ريمهِ وغزالهِ

But Lord, of the distracted mind and mood

Goes his complacent way to his rest and sleep

وكأنَّ كفَّ مُديرِها ومُديرِهِ

فَلكٌ يدورُ بشمسهِ وهلالهِ

As if the hands that guide stars in their course

Were guiding gently his steps, calm and deep
