1. وَإذا جَلَيْتُ اليومَ دُرَّ مَدائِحي

    جُلِبَتْ لأسْواقٍ بِغَيْرِ تِجارِ

    And when today I display the pearls of my praise-poems,

    they are brought to markets without merchants.

  2. فَيحلُّني الحِرْمانُ دارَ نَدامَةٍ

    ويُحلُّها الخُسْرانُ دارَ بَوَارِ

    Then deprivation lodges me in an abode of regret,

    and loss lodges them in an abode of ruin.
