وَلَيلٍ كَوَجهِ الزاغِ بَرداً وَظُلمَةً

وَطولاً كَقرني يونسٍ وَأَبي خَضرِ

And a night as cold and dark as a raven's face

As long as the horns of Jonah and Abu Khadr

عَدِمتُ الكَرى فيهِ وَطولَ هُجودِهِ

كَما عَدمَ العَقل البَها بنُ أَبي اليُسرِ

I missed my loved ones in its length and gloom

As sanity was missed by Baha bin Abu Yusr
