1. ناديت وهو الشمس في شهرة

    والجسم للخفية كالفيء

    I called out—he was the sun in renown,

    And the body, in its hiddenness, was like a shadow:

  2. يا زاهياً أعرف من مضمرٍ

    صل واهياً أنكر من شيء

    O radiant one, more definite than a pronoun,

    Unite with a frail one, more indefinite than 'a thing.'
