1. أصبحتُ صوفياً أقولُ بشاهدٍ

    عدلٍ لهُ في الحبِّ ألفُ قبيلِ

    I have become a Sufi, believing in a witness—

    An upright one, with a thousand clans in love with him.

  2. فحسامُ ناظرِهِ وعاملُ قدِّهِ

    قدْ بالغا في الجرحِ والتعديلِ

    For the sword of his gaze and the spear-shaft of his stature

    Have gone to extremes in wounding and attesting uprightness.
