1. أَثقلُ من حمَّى إذا ما بدت

    تُرْعد بالنافضِ والصالبِ

    More burdensome than a fever when it strikes,

    making one tremble with chills and burning heat.

  2. لو مرَّ من ميلٍ توهمته

    قد مرَّ بين العينِ والحاجب

    If he passed a mile away, you would think

    he had passed between the eye and the eyebrow.

  3. ولو مشى في جانب الأرض من

    ثِقْلٍ إِذنْ مالتْ إِلى جانب

    And if he walked on one side of the earth, because of

    his weight it would then tilt to one side.
