1. فَدَيتُ مُحَمَّداً مِن كُلِّ سوءٍ

    يُحاذَرُ في رَواحٍ أَو غُدُوِّ

    I would ransom Muhammad from every harm

    Feared in evening or morning.

  2. أَيا قَمَرَ السَماءِ سَفُلتَ حَتّى

    كَأَنَّكَ قَد ضَجِرتَ مِنَ العُلُوِّ

    O moon of the sky, you have sunk so low

    That you seem to have grown weary of the heights.

  3. رَأَيتُكَ مِن مُحِبِّكَ ذا بِعادٍ

    وَمِمَّن لا يُحِبُّكَ ذا دُنُوِّ

    I saw you distant from the one who loves you,

    And close to the one who does not love you.

  4. فَلَو أَنَّ الصَبا حَمَلَتكَ ما إِن

    سَتَسبِقُني الغَداةَ إِلى السُلُوِّ

    So even if the east wind carried you, you would not

    Outstrip me tomorrow morning in forgetting.

  5. وَحَسبُكَ حَسرَةً لَكَ مِن صَديقٍ

    يَكونُ زِمامُهُ بِيَدي عَدُوِّ

    And it is sorrow enough for you to have a friend

    Whose reins are in an enemy's hands.
