1. إن يكنْ قَطَّر من رِيِقِه

    ماءَ َوْردٍ لحياةِ الأنْفُسِ

    If he has distilled from his saliva

    rosewater to bring souls to life,

  2. فلقد أبْدَى لنا من وَجْهِهِ

    عَرَقُ الْفِتْنةِ عِطْرَ النَّفَسِ

    then indeed, from his face, there has been revealed to us

    the fragrance of breath by the sweat of enchantment.
