Sol 6.1

  1. أَيَرقَعُ مَنظَرَ المِرآةِ عَنهُ

    إِذا هُوَ أَمَّها بِالراحَتَينِ

    Can he patch over the mirror’s face to hide it from himself

    when he approaches it with both palms?

  2. وَاِحجِب وَجهَهُ كَيلا يَراها

    مَخافَةً إِن تَثنيهِ لِعَيني

    And veil his face, lest he see it,

    for fear it might double him before my eye.

  3. أُقاسي ما أُقاسي وَهوَ فَذُّ

    أَشبَهَهُ بِخَيرِ النَيرَينِ

    I suffer what I suffer while he is but one;

    I liken him to the finer of the two luminaries.

  4. وَلا أَقوى عَلى مَرأى سَناهُ

    فَكَيفَ إِذا تُبدي فَرقَدَينِ

    And I cannot bear the sight of his radiance—

    how then, if it reveals two Farqad stars?
