1. When I profess to have attained the heights of love, believe me
I have cut myself off from that;
١. مَتى اِدَّعَيتُ وُصولاً بِالغَرامِ وَلي
فِيَّ اِختِيارٌ فَإِنّي عَنهُ مُنقَطِعُ
2. Can one reach the station of the attained by passion
When despair and hope in it are not yet dead?
٢. وَهَل يَنالُ مَقامُ الواصِلينَ بِهِ
صَبٌّ وَلَم يَفنَ مِنهُ اليَأسُ وَالطَمَعُ
