1. From every rhyme that occupies a dwelling
In the heart of a novel or a palm and paper
١. مِن كُلِّ قافِيَةٍ تَحتَلُّ ثاوِيَةً
في صَدرِ رِوايَةٍ أَو كَفِّ وَرّاقِ
2. Ruins that tell us of people's affairs
Of a nation's villainy and of glory in honesty
٢. خَوابِرٌ بِأُمورِ الناسِ تُخبِرُنا
عَن لُؤمِ قَومٍ وَعَن مَجدٍ بِتَصداقِ
