1. بِروحِيَ أَنفٌ بَينَ خَدّيهِ فاصلٌ

    فَكانَ كَنورٍ قَد بَدا بَينَ نورينِ

    With my soul I would ransom a nose that divides his two cheeks.

    It was thus like a light that appeared between two lights.

  2. وَما هوّ إِلّا البَرقُ يَلمَعُ دائِماً

    ضِياءً وَيَبدو فاصِلاً بَينَ بَدرينِ

    And it is nothing but lightning, forever flashing

    Radiantly, and appearing as a divider between two full moons.
