1. أوليتني نعمة مذ صرت تلحظني

    كافي الكفاة بعيني مجمل النظر

    You have bestowed a favor on me since you began to look upon me,

    O Kāfī al-Kufāt, with the eyes of one gracious in his regard.

  2. كذا اليواقيت فيما قيل نشأتها

    من حسن تأثير عين الشمس في القمر

    Likewise, rubies, it is said, owe their origin

    To the favorable influence of the sun’s eye upon the moon.
