    لتوديع إلفي والهوى يذرف الدمعا

    وقد جعلت تلك العصا حية تسعى

    were the right hand of the son of Imran as he reached for the staff,

    when that staff had been turned into a slithering serpent.

  3. وقائلة هل تملك الصبر بعدهم

    فقلت لها لا والذي أخرج المرعى

    So I told her, “No, by Him who brought forth the pasture.”
