1. هَاجَتْ جَوَى أَلَمِي جَوَاهِرُ الْكَلِمِ

    مَا بَيْنَ مُنْتَثِرٍ مِنْهَا وَمُنْتَظِمِ

    The jewels of words have stirred my pain’s burning anguish,

    Some of them scattered, others strung together.

  2. لاَ سَكَّنَ اللهُ قَلْباً لَمْ تَهِجْهُ فَقَدْ

    أَزْرَتْ بِمَا قِيلَ فِي أَيَّامِ ذِي سَلَمِ

    May God never soothe a heart they have not stirred, for

    They have put to shame what was said in the days of Dhu Salam.
