1. رَأَيتُكَ هَرَّيتَ العِمامَةَ بَعدَما

    أَراكَ زَماناً فاصعاً لَم تُعَصَّبِ

    I saw that you had dyed your turban yellow, after

    Seeing you long bareheaded, wearing no turban,

  2. لَيالِيَ سَعدٌ في عُكاظَ يَسوقُها

    لَهُ كُلُّ شَرقٍ مِن عُكاظَ وَمَغرِبِ

    In the days when Saʿd governed the market at ʿUkāẓ,

    Every eastern and western part of ʿUkāẓ belonged to him.
