1. رَدَدتُ إِلى مَليكِ الحَقِّ أَمري

    فَلَم أَسأَل مَتى يَقَعُ الكُسوفُ

    I entrusted my affairs to the Sovereign of Truth,

    so I did not ask when the eclipse would occur.

  2. فَكَم سَلِمَ الجَهولُ مِنَ المَنايا

    وَعوجِلَ بِالحِمامِ الفَيلَسوفُ

    For how often has the ignorant man escaped death,

    while the philosopher was swiftly overtaken by death.
