1. أيقظته من كراه بعد ما رمدت

    عيناه لا مسه من بعدها ألم

    I woke him from his slumber after inflammation had struck

    His eyes—may no pain touch him thereafter.

  2. قد زرته وسيوف الهند مغمدةٌ

    وقد نظرت إليه والسيوف دمُ

    I had visited him while the swords of India were sheathed;

    And I have gazed upon him while the swords were blood.
