1. ما مِثلُ فَمِ الحَبيب في الآفاقِ

    قَد ضاقَ وَلا كَقلبيَ المُشتاقِ

    Nothing across the horizons is like the beloved’s mouth

    In how narrow it has grown—nor like my yearning heart.

  2. آليتُ لئن رُزِقتُ يَوماً فَمَهُ

    ما اِختَرتُ عَلَيهِ سَعَةَ الأَرزاقِ

    I swore: if one day I were granted his mouth,

    I would not choose abundant sustenance over it.
