1. ما النِّيلُ أَصبَحَ واحداً بِمُدودِهِ

    وَجرَت له ريحُ الصَّبا فَجَرى لها

    The Nile has not become peerless with its floods.

    And the east wind blew for it, so it flowed in response.

  2. عَوَّدت كِندَةَ عادةً محمودةً

    فاصبر لجاهلها وَرَوِّ سِجالها

    You have accustomed Kindah to a praiseworthy custom.

    So bear with its fool, and fill its buckets.
