1. هِيَ النَفسُ لا أَعتاضُ عَنها بِغَيرِها

    وَكُلُّ ذَوي عَقلٍ عَلى مِثلِها يَحنو

    It is the soul; I take nothing else in exchange for it.

    And all who possess reason tenderly care for a soul like it.

  2. لَها أَطلُبُ الأُخرى فَإِن أَنا بِعتُها

    بِشَيءٍ مِنَ الدُنيا فَذاكَ هُوَ الغَبنُ

    For its sake I seek the Hereafter; for if I sell it

    For something of this world, then that is a losing bargain.
