1. لقَد زارَني مِن بَعد حَول مُودِعاً

    وَطَوق الدُجا قَد صارَ في قَبضة الفَجر

    Indeed, he visited me after a year, bidding farewell,

    And the collar of darkness had come into dawn's grasp.

  2. فَأَخجَلتُهُ بِالعَتب حَتّى رَأَيتُهُ

    يَزيح الثُريّا بِالهِلال عَن البَدر

    So I embarrassed him with reproach until I saw him

    Sweep the Pleiades from the full moon with the crescent.
