1. ما حيلَتي الا مُسامَرَة الدُجى

    لِما اِستَحال الظَن وَاِنقَطَع الرَجا

    What recourse have I but to keep company with the darkness of night?

    Since expectation has proved vain and hope has been cut off.

  2. لكِن لي بِجَمالِكُم حُسن التجا

    وَمن التجى لكمو فَلَيسَ يَضيق

    Yet in your beauty I have a fine refuge,

    And whoever seeks refuge with you will not feel distress.
