1. تَعَزَّزَ بَعضُ الناسِ فَازدادَ بَهجَةً

    وَزادَ فُؤادي مِن تَباعُدِهِ وَحشا

    Someone grew aloof and thus became more radiant;

    and my heart grew more desolate from his withdrawal.

  2. لِذاكَ تَرى في وَجنَتَيهِ مُسَطَّراً

    إِذا كُوِّرَت وَالشَمسُ وَاللَيلُ إِذ يَغشى

    Thus you see inscribed upon his cheeks:

    “When it is folded up,” “By the sun,” and “By the night when it shrouds.”
