1. A group is blamed, though they traversed the wilds
Seeking to govern with wisdom and thought.
١. تُعابُ معاشرٌ وكَلَوا البرايا
إلى تدبير ذى رأىٍ أفينِ
2. They erred not, though deemed the nights were unwise,
Curing madness with madness they wrought.
٢. وما غلِطوا ورأَوا سفهَ الليالي
فداووْا بالجنون من الجنونِ
