    وَنور وَفي المحنة بِهم قَد توصلا

    ن رد وَلا تَعارفوا تميز تكملا

    “You are distracted,” “you receive it,” “it blazes,” tarabbaṣū—

    —na (“you await”); restore [the letter]; “and do not become acquainted”; “it splits”—completing

  9. ثَلاثين مع إِحدى وَفي اللات خَلفه

  10. وَفي بدئه خفف وَإِن كانَ قبلها

    لَدى الوَصل حَرف المَد مَدّ وَطولا
