1. شموس مِن الآداب تَطلع في الدُجى

    وَتُلقي عَلى أُفق الضَمير شُعاعَها

    Suns of letters rise in the darkness,

    And cast their radiance upon the mind’s horizon.

  2. مَعانٍ تَوافَت في ضَمير كَأَنَّها

    أَمانيُّ قَد صادَفَت مِنها اِجتِماعَها

    Ideas have come together in a mind, as though they were

    Wishes that have found their union among them.
