حتّامَ يَمنَع جفني هَجرك الوَسنا

يا بَدر حُسنٍ سَناءً قَد زَها وَسَنا

Your estrangement prevents my eyelids from closing,

O beautiful full moon that has risen radiantly.

رِفقاً بِمَن لَم يَذُق عَيشاً صَفا وَهَنا

فَإِنّ جسمي مِن حَمل الأَسا وَهنا

Be kind to one who has not tasted an easy, carefree life,

For my body is worn out from bearing sorrow.

لَولا تَغلّب حالي في هَواك لَما

أَضحى لَدَيك فُؤاد الصَبّ مُرتَهَنا

Had my state in passion for you not overcome me,

The heart of this love-sick one would not have become a pawn to you.
