1. إِن سارَعتِ الصَبا إِلى مَرضاتي

    أَو أُنجِحَ من هُبوبها مَسعاتي

    If the east wind hastens to please me,

    or my endeavor is made successful through its blowing,

  2. فالجامِع بَينَنا صَفاء الذاتِ

    بَل طيبُ شَمائِلٍ عَلى العِلّاتِ

    then what unites us is purity of essence—

    rather, sweetness of character despite imperfections.
