عاتبت محبوب قلبي حين زايلني

I reproached my heart’s beloved as he drew away from me,
I chided the beloved of my heart when he deserted me
From my bed, while dawn’s bloodletter had opened a vein.
From my bed as dawn broke at the crack of dawn

So he said, “This ray of the sun is overtaking us,
He said, “This is the sun’s rays reaching us”
And the sun ought not to overtake the moon.”
“The sun should not overtake the moon”
