1. تَسَمّى رَشيداً مِن لُؤَيِّ بنِ غالِبٍ

    أَميرٌ وَهَل في العالَمينَ رَشيدُ

    He called himself Rashid, of Lu’ayy son of Ghalib—

    a prince; yet is there anyone rightly guided in all the worlds?

  2. فَإِنَّ أَغانِيَّ اللَيالي نَيّاحَةٌ

    وَمِنها بَسيطٌ مُقتَضىً وَنَشيدُ

    For the songs of the nights are a wailing mourner,

    And among them are a simple, prescribed strain and a chant.
