1. أَلَم تَأتِ أَهلَ المشرِقَينِ رِسالتي

    وَأَيُّ نَصِيحٍ لا يَبِيتُ عَلى عَتبِ

    Has my message not reached the people of the two Easts?

    And what sincere adviser does not spend the night with a grievance?

  2. مَلَكتُهم فَكانَ الشَرُّ آخِرَ عَهدِكُم

    لَئِن لَم تُدارِكُكُم حُلُومُ بَني حَربِ

    I ruled them; evil would mark the end of your days,

    if indeed the forbearance of the sons of Harb did not come to your aid.
