1. شَوقي إِلَيكَ وَإِن نَأَيتَ شَديدُ

    شَوقٌ عَلَيَّ بِهِ الإِلَهُ شَهيدُ

    My longing for you is intense, though you are far away.

    A longing to which God is my witness.

  2. طوبى لِمَن أَمسى يَراكَ بِعَينِهِ

    وَتَراهُ عَينُكَ إِنَّهُ لَسَعيدُ

    Blessed is he who sees you with his own eye at evening,

    And whom your eye beholds—he is happy indeed.
