لما استوت فلك الوداد بنا على

جودي حب غب غيض الأبحر

When the ship of affection was anchored between us

On the generosity of my overflowing love like a flood tide sea

سايلت في القمراء عنك فقيل لي

ذاك الفتى متعبد في العنبر

I asked about you in Al-Qumra'a and was told

That young man is secluded in prayer in the ambergris fragrance
