1. سألت قلبي عن ذوي العشق وعنْ

    ما أوْتيته منْ فنون الحسن ميْ

    I asked my heart about those in love, and about

    the forms of beauty bestowed upon Mayy.

  2. فقالَ لي إنِّي وجدتُ امرأة

    تملكهم وأوتِيت منْ كلِّ شيْ

    Then it said to me, “Indeed, I have found a woman

    who rules them and has been endowed with all things.”
