1. تَحَجَّب عَن عَيني فَزادَ بِيَ الجَوى

    وَضاقَت بِيَ الدُّنيا وَزادَ التحيُّرُ

    He veiled himself from my sight, so heartache grew within me.

    And the world closed in on me, and bewilderment grew.

  2. وَلَكِن بِشَمسِ الأُفقِ دامَ تَذكُّري

    مَحاسِنَه وَالشّيءُ بِالشّيءِ يُذكَرُ

    Yet the horizon's sun kept me recalling

    His charms—for one thing brings another to mind.
