1. نَبِيّ جَمالٍ قَد دَعانا لِحُبِّهِ

    وَقَد سَلَّ سَيفَ اللّحظِ متّ مِنَ الخَوفِ

    A prophet of beauty has called us to love him.

    And he drew the sword of his glance—I died of fear.

  2. وَصَيّرَ سَلبَ العَقلِ وَاللبِّ آيَةً

    وَأَيّدَ دينَ الحبّ في ذَلكِ السّيفِ

    And made the theft of reason and intellect a miracle.

    And strengthened the faith of love through that sword.
