1. تَعالى اللَهُ فَهوَ بِنا خَبيرٌ

    قَدِ اِضطُرَّت إِلى الكَذِبِ العُقولُ

    Exalted is God, for He knows us well.

    Minds have indeed been compelled to lie.

  2. نَقولُ عَلى المَجازِ وَقَد عَلِمنا

    بِأَنَّ الأَمرَ لَيسَ كَما نَقولُ

    We speak figuratively, though we know

    that things are not as we say.
