1. ورد الكتاب فديته من وارد

    فله بقلبي من حياتي مورد

    The letter arrived—may I give myself as ransom for such a visitor!

    So within my heart it has a spring fed by my life.

    في كل فصل منه فصل مفرد

    Then I saw pearls, their necklace neatly strung;

    In each of its sections, a passage all its own.
