1. أَيا صاحِبي أَبشِر بِزَورَتِنا الحِمى

    وَأَهلَ الحِمى مِن مُبغِضٍ وَوَدودِ

    O my friend, rejoice at our visit to the protected grounds,

    and their people, both hostile and loving.

  2. قَدِ اِختَلَجَت عَيني فَدَلَّ اِختِلاجُها

    عَلى حُسنِ وَصلٍ بَعدَ قُبحِ صُدودِ

    My eye has twitched, and its twitching has signaled

    a beautiful reunion after ugly rejection.
