1. نارُ الرَّويَّة نارٌ جِدُّ مُنْضجةٍ

    وللبديهَةِ نارٌ ذَاتُ تَلْويحِ

    Deliberation’s fire is a fire that cooks thoroughly;

    And improvisation has a fire that singes.

  2. وَقَدْ يَفضِّلُهَا قَوْمٌ لِعَاجِلِها

    لكنَّهُ عاجِلٌ يَمْضي مع الريحِ

    Some may prefer it for its immediacy,

    But it is a fleeting thing that passes with the wind.
