1. Time has been long to me though it excuses
With lies thrice over, nay, rather, times eight
١. طالَ الزَمانُ عَلَيَّ وَهُوَ مُعَلِّلي
بِمَثالِثٍ مِن زورُهُ وَمَثاني
2. How many a meadow of life has given drink
To herb of year but that other drank the same
٢. كَم حَلَّتِ الأَحياءُ جِدَّةَ رَوضَةٍ
وَرَعَت لَها نَبتاً لِعامٍ ثانِ
