1. شَكَوْتُ بالْحُبِّ إِلى ظالمِي

    فَقالَ لي مُسْتَهْزِئاً ما هُو

    I complained of love to my tormentor.

    So he said to me mockingly, “What is it?”

  2. قُلْتُ غَرامٌ ثابِتٌ قالَ لي

    إِقْرَأْ عَلَيْهِ قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ

    I said, “An enduring passion.” He said to me,

    “Recite over it: ‘Say: He is God.’”
