1. أُراقِبُهُ وَهوَ الرَقيبُ بِخاطِري

    وَفِيَّ لَهُ مِنّي عُيونٌ وَأَعوانُ

    I watch him, while he is the watcher within my thoughts.

    And within me he has eyes and helpers drawn from my own self.

  2. وَبَينَ الرَجا وَالخَوفِ وَالإِنسِ وَالحَيا

    بِقَلبي جِنانٌ مِن هَواهُ وَنيرانُ

    And between hope and fear, intimacy and modesty,

    In my heart are gardens and fires born of love for him.
