1. أَراني مَحبوءاً عَلى كُلِّ حالَةٍ

    بِأَقبالِ مَحبوبي عَلى قُبحِ إِدباري

    I see myself favored in every state,

    by my beloved’s turning toward me, despite the ugliness of my turning away.

  2. وَلَم يُخفِهِ عَن ناظِري في دُنُوِّهِ

    سِوى لَفتَتي عَنهُ إِلى طَيفِهِ الساري

    And in his nearness, nothing hid him from my sight

    save my turning from him toward his night-roaming phantom.
