1. عَلامَةُ كُلِّ اِثنَينِ بَينَهُما هَوىً

    عِتابُهُما في كُلِّ حَقٍّ وَباطِلِ

    The sign of any two with love between them

    Is their mutual reproach over everything, right or wrong.

  2. لِسانُهُما حَربٌ وَسِلمٌ هَواهُما

    يَجودانِ شَوقاً بِالدُموعِ الهواملِ

    Their speech is war, yet their love is peace;

    Out of longing, they freely shed streaming tears.
