1. أَقمْتَ المَطامِعَ مِن نُومِها

    وَنِمت فَمن ذا بِهذا حَكَمْ

    You roused hopes from their sleep,

    And slept yourself—who decreed this?

  2. وَحَاشَاكَ تَسمَعُ في مِثلِها

    فَنبّهْ لها عُمَراً ثُمَّ نَمْ

    And far be it from you to hear, in such a case:

    “So rouse Umar for it, then sleep.”
