1. جِئناكَ يَحُثُّنا الهَوى اِستِعجالا

    نستقصرُ نَحوَكُم طَريقاً طالا

    We came to you, love spurring us on in haste.

    We deem short the road to you, long though it is.

  2. ما اِستَوعَرَ فيكَ نضويَ الأَجبالا

    بَل عَدَّ فراسِخاً أَتى أَميالا

    For your sake, my weary mount did not find the mountains rugged;

    Rather, it counted the parasangs it covered as miles.
