1. سَعَت لَكَ صورَتي وَأَتاكَ شَخصي

    وَسارَ الظِلُّ نَحوَكَ وَالجِهاتُ

    My image hastened to you, and my person came to you.

    And the shadow moved toward you, and the directions too.

  2. لِأَنَّ الروحَ عِندَكَ وَهيَ أَصلٌ

    وَحَيثُ الأَصلُ تَسعى المُلحَقاتُ

    Because the soul is with you, and it is the source,

    And wherever the source is, the appendages hasten.

  3. وَهَبها صورَةً مِن غَيرِ روح

    أَلَيسَ مِنَ القَبولِ لَها حَياةُ

    And suppose it an image without a soul—

    Does acceptance not give it life?
