1. لك إن تغب شخصٌ وذكرٌ أصبحا

    ملكين في ذاتي وذلك لائقُ

    Even if you are absent, your form and memory have become

    Two kings within my being—and that is fitting.

  2. فخيام جفني فوق ذا مضروبةٌ

    ولواءُ قلبي فوقَ هذا خافقُ

    So my eyelid's tents are pitched above the one,

    And my heart's banner flutters above the other.
