1. نَزَلتَ عَنِ الكُمَيتِ إِلى كُمَيتٍ

    أَلا بِئسَ الخَليفَةُ وَالبَديلُ

    You dismounted from the bay horse for dark-red wine.

    Ah, what a wretched successor and substitute!

  2. ظَلَمتَ بِها حِجاكَ بِغَيرِ ذَنبٍ

    فَخَف إِنَّ العُقولَ لَها سَديلُ

    You wronged your reason with it, through no fault of its own.

    So beware: minds have a veil.
