1. يا ناصب القدّ عالي الحسن مرتفع

    فالحبّ ما بين منصوب ومرفوع

    O you of erect stature, lofty in beauty, exalted!

    For love lies between the upright and the uplifted.

  2. جوارحي وكتابي قد نهبتهما

    ففي يديك على الحالين مجموعي

    You have plundered both my limbs and my book;

    So, in both cases, all of me is in your hands.
