1. لَيتَ شِعري أَفي المَنامِ أَرى ذا

    قَمَرٌ زارَني عَلى غَيرِ وَعدِ

    If only I knew: am I seeing this in a dream?

    A moon visited me, though no meeting was promised.

  2. صارَ تُربُ الصَراتِ مِسكاً وَكافو

    راً حَصاها وَمائُها ماءَ وَردِ

    Al-Ṣarāt's soil turned to musk, and to camphor

    its pebbles; and its water to rosewater.
