1. أَهدَيتَني قَمرَ الدّينِ الَّذي شُفيت

    أَوصابُ قَلبٍ بِهِ إِذ كانَ مُنفَطِرا

    You gave me Qamar al-Din—the moon of faith—through which were healed

    The ailments of a heart, when it was breaking.

  2. وَإِنّكَ الشّمسُ فَضلاً ثمّ مَعرِفةً

    لا غَروَ لِلشّمسِ أَن تهدي ليَ القَمرا

    And indeed you are the sun in excellence, and then in knowledge;

    No wonder the sun should give me the moon.
