1. خطط مقومة ومفرق طرة

    فكأن سنة وجهه محراب

    Straightened lines and the parting of a forelock—

    so the outline of his face is like a prayer niche.

  2. وريت في كشف الذي القى به

    فتعطل النمام والمغتاب

    I used double meanings in revealing what I endure because of him,

    so the tale-bearer and the backbiter were left idle.
