1. صحاب قصدنا عن لقاهم منافعاً

    فلم نرَ شيئاً من وجوه المنافع

    Companions—we sought benefits from meeting them,

    but we saw no benefit of any kind.

  2. رَجا شافع نسج المودّة بيننا

    ولا خيرَ في ودّ يكون بشافع

    An intercessor hoped to weave affection between us,

    and there is no good in affection that comes through an intercessor.
