1. أنا مَوْرِدٌ ما سُدَّ بابيَ دونَ مَنْ

    قدْ شاءَهُ بُخْلاً علَى وُرّادِهِ

    I am a watering place; my gate was never barred to anyone

    who sought it, out of stinginess toward those who come to drink.

  2. لكِنْ تُرِكْتُ لأنّ راحةَ يوسُفٍ

    غيثٌ يعُمُّ الخَلْقَ صوْبَ عِهادِهِ

    But I was forsaken, because Yusuf’s palm

    is rain whose successive showers pour over all creation.
