1. أَيّامُ وِصالكنَّ في الأَعوامِ

    طُرزٌ لِلَياليَّ عَلى الأَكمامِ

    The days of union with you, amid the years,

    Are embroideries upon the sleeves of my nights.

  2. ما أنجبَ وَاللَهِ لَيالٍ حملَت

    في الدَهرِ بِمِثلِ تِلكُم الأَيّامِ

    How nobly fruitful, by God, the nights that conceived

    In all time, the like of those days!
