1. وَأَيُّ اِمرِئٍ في الناسِ أُلفِيَ قاضِياً

    فَلَم يُمضِ أَحكاماً لِحُكمِ سَدومِ

    And what man among humankind was ever found a judge

    Who did not enforce rulings in keeping with Sadum’s judgment?

  2. أَبَت فاقِداتُ الحِسِّ حَملَ رَزِيَّةٍ

    وَهَل رابَ صَخّراً نَحتُهُ بَقَدومِ

    Things devoid of sensation refused to bear calamity;

    And has a rock ever been troubled by being hewn with an adze?
