1. دَعتكَ دواعي النفس غيباً ومشهداً

    فأرعيتَ سمعاً ثم أعطيت مقودا

    The soul’s impulses called you, in secret and in the open;

    So you lent an ear, then yielded the reins.

  2. دعاء فتحت اليوم بابَ قَبولِهِ

    فأغلقت أبوابَ القَبولِ بهِ غَدا

    A call to which you opened the door of acceptance today,

    And thereby closed the doors of acceptance tomorrow.
