1. تتناسب الأوفاق في أفلاكها

    من قبل ما يتناسب الممتاز

    The harmonious configurations correspond within their celestial spheres

    before the distinguished show their affinity:

  2. يحيى ويحيى شاعريْ وقتيهما

    هذاك جزَّار وذا خبَّاز

    Yahya and Yahya, the two poets of their respective times—

    that one a butcher, and this one a baker.
