1. لِساني وَطَرفي مِنكَ يا غَايَةَ الُمنى

    وَمِن وَلَهي هذا خَطيبٌ وشَاعرُ

    My tongue and my eye, because of you, O goal of all wishes,

    and because of my passionate longing, are an orator and a poet.

  2. فَهذا لِمَعنى حُسنِ وَجهِكَ ناظِمٌ

    وَهَذا لِدمَعي في تَجَنِّيكِ نَاثِرُ

    This one composes verse on the beauty of your face,

    and this one scatters my tears at your unjust treatment.
