1. وإِذا تَطَلَّعَ في مَرائي فِكْرِهِ

    لَمْ تَخْفَ خافيةٌ عَلى تَنْقيبِهِ

    And when he peers into the mirrors of his thought,

    no hidden thing eludes his probing.

  2. فَتَراهُ يَبْلُغُ ما أَرادَ بِرِفْقِهِ

    كَالفَجْرِ يَبْلُغُ ما ابْتَغى بِدَبيبِهِ

    So you see him attain what he desires through his gentleness,

    like dawn attaining what it seeks by its creeping advance.
