1. المَينُ أَهلَكَ فَوقَ الأَرضِ ساكِنِها

    فَما تَصادَقَ في أَبنائِها الشِيَعُ

    Falsehood has destroyed those dwelling upon the earth;

    So the sects among its children have not been true friends.

  2. لَولا عَداوَةُ أَصلٍ فة طِباعِهِمُ

    كانَت مَساجِدَ مَقروناً بِها البِيَعُ

    Were it not for enmity rooted in their natures,

    Mosques would have churches joined to them.
