1. ولوزينج يشفي السقيم كأنه

    بنان أكف بضة لم تغضن

    And an almond confection that heals the sick, as though it were

    the fingers of soft, plump hands that have not wrinkled.

  2. بعثناه بالقطر الزكي محنطا

    ليدفن إلا أنه لم يكفن

    We sent it embalmed in fragrant syrup,

    to be buried, except that it had not been shrouded.
