1. I wrote verses about my state that prevailed
Over me, with one who is far above any counterpart
١. كتبتُ وشيناتُ حالي غَلَبْن
عليَّ بمَنْ جَلَّ عن مُشْبِهِ
2. So my longing for him, my gratitude to him
My poetry about him, my preoccupation with him
٢. فشوقي إليهِ وشُكْري له
وشعريَ فيهِ وشُغْلي بهِ
