شكر اللهُ للصيامِ فقد أَضْـ

ـحَى غَرَامِي القصيرُ فيه طَويلاَ

I thank God for fasting, for it made

My short passion become long in it

أَظهَرَ المِسْكَ عَنْ مَراشِفِ من أَهْـ

ـوَى وزاد الذُّبُولَ فيه ذُبُولاَ

It revealed the musk from the pillows of one I love

And increased the leanness in it to become leaner

وكسا خدُّه نُحولاً فأَضْحَى

مِثْلَ ما أَشْتَهِيهِ خَدّاً أَسِيلاَ

And it clothed his cheek, becoming emaciated

So it became like the cheek I desire, smooth
