1. بدا كرم الوجه الخصيبيّ بعدما

    تقضى كريم الدِّين وهو منيب

    The generosity of al-Khasibi’s face appeared after

    Karim al-Din passed away, repentant.

  2. وما كانَ ذا خصب لعبسة وجهِه

    ولكنَّما وجهُ الكريمِ خصيب

    Nor was he bountiful, given the scowl on his face;

    rather, the generous man’s face is fertile.
