1. رجعُ صوتٍ كأنه نظمُ دُرٍّ

    ما يرى سَلكهُ سوَى الآذانِ

    A voice’s echo, as though it were a string of pearls,

    whose thread none but ears can see.

  2. تَنفثُ السِّحرَ بالبيانِ من القو

    لِ ولا سحرَ مثلُ سحرِ البيانِ

    She breathes magic through the eloquence of speech,

    and no magic is like the magic of eloquence.
