1. ظَبْيٌ يُخالُ البَرْقُ مِن بَرِيقِهِ

    غَنِيْتُ عَنْ إبْرِيقِهِ بِريقِهِ

    A gazelle—lightning is thought to come from his radiance.

    With his saliva, I had no need of his ewer.

  2. وَلَمْ أَزَلْ أَشْرَبُ مِنْ رَحيقِهِ

    حَتَّى سَقَيْتُ القَلْبَ مِن حَريقِهِ

    And I kept drinking of his nectar,

    Until I made my heart drink of his fire.
