1. أَهوى قَمَراً كُلُّ الوَرى تَهواهُ

    ما أَرخَصَ عِشقَهُ وَما أَغلاهُ

    I love a moon whom all humankind loves.

    How cheap love for him is, and how dear!

  2. يَنأى مَلَلاً وَخاطِري مَأواهُ

    ما أَبعَدَهُ مِنّي وَما أَدناهُ

    He draws away out of boredom, yet my mind is his abode.

    How far he is from me, and how near!
