1. وَقَائلٍ عَهْدُهُ بِالنَّاسِ مُذْ زَمَنٍ

    وقَدْ رَآني غرِيبَ الدَّارِ في بَلَدي

    And one whose knowledge of people dated from long ago said,

    having seen me a stranger in my own homeland:

  2. مَا فَطّروكَ بِهذا الصًوْمِ قُلْتُ لهُ

    مَا فَطَّروني وَلكِنْ فَطَّرُوا كَبِدِي

    “Have they not given you food to break this fast?” I told him,

    “They have not broken my fast, but they have torn my liver apart.”
