1. لَكَ وَجهٌ كَآخِرِ الصَكِّ فيهِ

    لَمَحاتٌ كَثيرَةٌ مِن رِجالِ

    You have a face like the end of a deed; in it

    are many traces of men,

  2. كَخُطوطِ الكُتّابِ مُشتَبَهاتٍ

    شاهِداتٍ أَن لَستَ بِاِبنِ حَلالِ

    like the scribes’ scripts, hard to tell apart,

    bearing witness that you were not born in wedlock.
