1. سافر تنل رتب المفاخر والعلا

    كالدر سار فصار في التيجان

    Travel, and you will attain the ranks of glory and eminence.

    Like the pearl, which traveled and thus came to be in crowns.

  2. وكذا هلال الأفق لو ترك السرى

    ما فارقته معرةُ النقصان

    And likewise, had the horizon’s crescent abandoned its nightly journey,

    The blemish of incompleteness would not have left it.
