1. لَقَد زَارَني لَيلاً فَقُمت ضَممتهُ

    فَقَد صارَ جِسمانا كَجِسم تَجَسَّدا

    He visited me by night; I rose and embraced him.

    And our two bodies became like one body made flesh.

  2. وَلا عَجبَ أَنّا كحَرفين أُدغِما

    فَصارا لَدى الإِدغام حَرفاً مُشَدّدا

    No wonder: we are like two letters assimilated into one another,

    which, through assimilation, became a single geminated letter.
