1. أضدَّانِ في جسدٍ واحدٍ

    مقيمان قد جعلاه قَرارا

    Two opposites in a single body,

    Both dwelling there, having made it their abode:

  2. دموعٌ من العين فياّضةٌ

    ووَقدٌ من القلب يَرمِى شَرارا

    Tears overflowing from the eye,

    And a blaze from the heart casting sparks.

  3. كأنِّى من السُّحُبِ الساريا

    ت يَحمِلنَ فيهنَّ ماءً ونارا

    As though I were one of the clouds that travel by night,

    Carrying within them water and fire.
