1. أمولايَ نور الدِّين خادمك الذي

    تغيَّبتَ عن عينيه لم يكُ مسرورا

    O my lord Nur al-Din, your servant—the one

    from whose sight you were absent—was not happy.

  2. إذا غبتَ عنه خافَ في عينهِ العمى

    وحسبك أن العين لا تبصر النورا

    When you are absent from him, he fears blindness in his eye;

    and suffice it for you that the eye does not see the light.
