وليلةِ وصْلٍ خلتُها ليلةَ القَدْرِ
تنعَّم فيها القلبُ بالشَّمْسِ لا البَدْرِ
And a night of union—I took it for the Night of Destiny;
therein the heart reveled in the sun, not the full moon.
وما زلتُ حتى فرّق الصبحُ بَيْنَنَا
فكانَ زوالُ الشَّمْسِ بالصُّبح لا الظُّهْر
And I remained so until dawn parted us;
thus the sun’s departure came at dawn, not at noon.
Sol 5.6
