1. منّي قَلَقٌ ومن سُلَيمَى مَلَقُ

    مُذْ مَفْرِقُها دُجىً وفَرْقي فَلَقُ

    From me comes anxiety; from Sulayma, flattery.

    Since her hair’s parting is night, and mine is dawn.

  2. لا غَرْو إذا رأيتَنا نَفتَرِقُ

    الصَبْحُ معَ الظّلامِ لا يَتّفِقُ

    No wonder if you see us part:

    Morning does not accord with darkness.
