يا سالباً قَمَرَ السّماء جَمالَهُ

ألبَستَني للحزْنِ ثوبَ سمائِهِ

O you who stripped the moon of its beauty

You clothed me in the garb of sadness

أضرَمْتَ قلبي فارتمى بشرارةٍ

وَقَعَتْ بخدّكَ فانطَفَتْ من مائِهِ

You set my heart aflame and it flung out sparks

That fell upon your cheek and were quenched by its water
