1. شيئان واللهِ ما أمَلُّهما

    وليسَ لي في سواهُما أَرَبُ

    Two things, by God, I never tire of:

    And I have no desire for anything other than them.

  2. فإنْ تَقُلْ ما هُما أُجِبْ وأَقُلْ

    بابُ خوارِزْمِشَاهَ والأَدَبُ

    So if you ask, “What are they?” I will answer and say:

    The gate of Khwarizmshah, and literature.
