1. وَمِنَ الغَرائِبِ أَن تَسيرَ غَرائِبٌ

    في الأَرضِ لَم يَعلَم بِها المَأمولُ

    And among wonders is that wonders travel

    Through the land, unknown to the one in whom hope is placed.

  2. كَالعِيَسِ أَقتَلُ ما يَكونُ لَها الظَلما

    وَالماءُ فَوقَ ظُهورِها مَحمولُ

    Like pale camels, when thirst is deadliest for them,

    While water is carried upon their backs.
