أشكو إليكَ سحابا

قدْ عاقني عنكَ شهرا

I complain to you of a cloud

That has kept me from you a month

سحابُ كفَّيْكَ أهنا

منَ السحابِ وأمْرا

The cloud of your two hands, oh how

Gentler than other clouds and whiter

ما عابسٌ درَّ سيلاً

كباسمٍ سالَ دُرَّا

No gloomy one has poured heavy rain

Like a smiling face that pours pearls
