شَيْخَ رِبَاطٍ إِنْ أَتَى شَادِنٌ

خَلْوَتَهُ عِنْدَ انْسِدَالِ الظَّلاَمْ

A Sufi hermit, should a giddy youth

Seek his seclusion when night falls,

أَدْلَى وَقَدْ أَبْصَرَهُ دَلْوَهُ

وَقَالَ يَا بُشْرَايَ هَذَا غُلاَم

Would gently guide him, though aware of his trespass,

Saying: "Rejoice, my son! A brave young man are you!"
