عَانَقْتُ مَولايَ عِنْدَ رُؤْيَتِهِ

عَانَقْتُ مَولايَ عِنْدَ رُؤْيَتِهِ

وَنِلْتُ سُؤْلي بِحُسْنِ ما صَنَعا

وَنِلْتُ سُؤْلي بِحُسْنِ ما صَنَعا

I embraced my lord when I saw him,

and attained my desire through the beauty of what he fashioned

مِنْ قَمَرٍ صارَ في تَنَصُّفِهِ

مِنْ قَمَرٍ صارَ في تَنَصُّفِهِ

كأَنَّهُ نِصْفُ دِرْهَمٍ قُطِعا

كأَنَّهُ نِصْفُ دِرْهَمٍ قُطِعا

from a moon that, on becoming half, came to look

like half of a dirham that had been cut.
