1. لو انصفت دنياي في حكمها

    لكنت اقنى الناس حرابها

    Had my world been fair in her judgment,

    I would have been the man most richly endowed with her spears.

  2. لكنني عبد لحاجي على

    تحرير لفظي وهو من دابها

    But I am a slave to my needs, laboring at

    refining my wording—and that is one of her ways.
