1. Whoever craves poetry with me, or desires the language,
Neither this nor that shall avail him at all.
١. مَن يَبغِ عِندِيَ نَحواً أَو يُرِد لُغَةً
فَما يُساعِفُ مِن هَذا وَلا هَذي
2. It should suffice you misfortune from life and deficiency
That the guide cannot show you what misleads.
٢. يَكفيكَ شَرّاً مِنَ الدُنيا وَمَنقَصَةً
أَن لا يَبينَ لَكَ الهادي مِنَ الهاذي
