1. مُنِيّتُها مَنزلةً قد عَلَتْ

    وَانحَطَّ عَنها الفَلَكُ السَّابِعُ

    I was promised it—a dwelling risen high,

    And the seventh celestial sphere sank beneath it.

  2. طَالِعُها أَسْعَدُ شَيءٍ يُرَى

    وَأَنتَ فِيها ذلكَ الطَّالِعُ

    Its ascendant is the most fortunate thing seen,

    And you, within it, are that ascendant.
