1. جاءَ يَسعَى إِلى الصَّلاةِ بِوَجهٍ

    يُخْجِلُ البَدْرَ في بُروجِ السُّعودِ

    He came hastening to prayer with a face

    that puts the full moon to shame in the constellations of good fortune.

  2. فَتَمنَّيْتُ أنَّ وَجْهِيَ أرْضٌ

    حينَ أَوْمَا بِوَجْههِ لِلسُّجُودِ

    So I wished that my face were the ground

    when he inclined his face to prostrate.
