1. عَطفاً فَهواكَ سرَّ قَلبي ناجى

    ما الصادِقُ وُدّا كَخؤونِ داجى

    Show compassion, for love of you has communed with my heart’s secret.

    One sincere in affection is not like a treacherous dissembler.

  2. في سوقِ هَوى أَحِبَّتي لا كَسَدَت

    أَشكو ذَهباً رُدَّ وَزيفاً راجا

    In the market of love for my beloveds—may it never languish—

    I lament gold rejected and counterfeit coin that found acceptance.
