1. عِزُّ الهَوى في حُكْمِها ذُلُّ

    وَالحُكْمُ في طُرقِ الهَوى جَهلُ

    Love’s glory under her rule is abasement.

    And judgment in the ways of love is ignorance.

  2. نَطَقَ الجَمالُ بِعُذرِ عَاشِقِها

    لِلعاذِلينَ فَأُخْرِسَ العَذْل

    Beauty spoke in her lover’s defense

    to the reproachers, so reproach was silenced.
