1. طَيفٌ لَكَ زائِري جَميلُ الوَصفِ

    قَد صارَ لِكَثرَةِ التَداني أَلفي

    A vision of you visits me, lovely to describe.

    Through drawing near so often, it has become my intimate companion.

  2. ما اِفتَقَدَني وَقَد تَمَتَّتُ بِهِ

    لَو صُبَّ عَلَيَّ نَومُ أَهلِ الكَهفِ

    It would not find me absent, now that I have claimed a bond with it,

    Even if the sleep of the People of the Cave were poured upon me.
