1. تَخالَفَ جنْسُ الشّوْقِ والحُكْمُ واحِدٌ

    وكلُّ مُحِبٍّ في الكَمالِ ومُشْتاقُ

    The kinds of longing differ, yet their governing principle is one.

    And every lover seeks perfection and yearns for it.

  2. فمَعْنَى اشْتِياقِ الأرْضِ للغَيْثِ حاجَةٌ

    ومَعْنى اشْتِياقِ الغيْثِ للأرْضِ إشْفاقُ

    The earth’s longing for rain means need,

    And rain’s longing for the earth means compassion.
