1. لِمْ لا أتيتهُ على الرِّماحِ اذا

    فخُرَتْ وتحسُدني الظُّبى البُتر

    Why did I not come to him upon the lances, when

    they gloried, and the cleaving sword-blades envy me?

  2. واِليَّ سَوْقُ الرَّيحِ حامِلَةً

    طوداً أشَمَّ وقابِضي بَحْرُ

    And toward me the wind is driven, bearing

    a lofty mountain, and he who grasps me is a sea.
