1. شَكَرَتكَ عَنّي شارِداتُ قَصائِدٍ

    بِصَنائِعٍ فاهَت بِشُكرِ صَنائِعِ

    Far-ranging poems have thanked you on my behalf,

    With artistry that voiced thanks for your favors.

  2. تَنفي الحُداةُ بِها عَنِ الجَفنِ الكَرى

    وَتَخيطُ مِن طَرَبٍ جُفونَ السامِعِ

    With them, the camel-drivers banish slumber from the eyelid,

    And the poems stitch the listener’s eyelids shut with rapture.
