1. وفي الروضة الغَنَّاءِ أَصبحتُ مُثنياً

    عَليكَ وأَنفاسُ الرِّياضِ رَسِيلُ

    And in the lush garden I began the morning offering praise

    of you, with the gardens’ breaths as my companions.

  2. وَأَمسيْتُ أَدعُو واثقاً بإجابتي

    لأَنيَّ أَدْعُو والنَّسِيمُ قَبُولُ

    And at evening I prayed, confident of being answered,

    For I pray, and the breeze is an east wind—“acceptance.”
