1. أَبْدَى الأَصِيلُ شَمَائِلَ الْعُشَّاقِ

    شَدْواً وَرَقْصاً وَالْتِزَامَ عِنَاقِ

    The late afternoon revealed the ways of lovers:

    Singing, dancing, and holding fast in embrace.

  2. لَمْ يَبْتَسِمْ بَيْنَ الْبِطَاحِ مُسَلِّماً

    حَتَّى بَكَى فَوْقَ الْرُّبَى لِفِرَاقِ

    No sooner had it smiled in greeting amid the plains

    Than it wept above the hills at parting.
