1. أزعجتني عن نعوت الحال بالحال

    فكيف ينعت من لا قال بالقال

    You have swept me beyond all descriptions of the state—with the state itself.

    How, then, can one who has no speech be described through speech?

  2. ما كل من يدعي حالاً تصدقه

    حتى يترجم عنه صاحب الحال

    Not everyone who claims a state is borne out by it,

    until the possessor of the state gives voice to it on his behalf.
