1. أَسرَت بي وَاللَيلُ كَظَني داجِ

    تَسمو بي نَحوَ أَرفع الأَبراجِ

    It bore me by night, while the night was dark as my thought,

    Soaring with me toward the loftiest towers.

  2. رؤيايَ أَرَت سَماءها لي أَرضاً

    ما أَحسَنَ لَو بِصورَتي معراجي

    My vision showed me its sky as earth.

    How beautiful my ascent would be, were it in my own form!
