1. تَمَنّى جَريرٌ دارِماً بِكُلَيبِهِ

    وَهَيهاتَ مِن شَمسِ النَهارِ الكَواكِبِ

    Jarir wished for Darim in place of his Kulayb;

    Yet how far the stars are from the daytime sun!

  2. وَلَيسَت كُلَيبٌ كائِنَينَ كَدارِمٍ

    وَوَدَّ جَريرٌ لَو عَطِيَّةَ غالِبِ

    Nor will Kulayb ever be like Darim;

    And Jarir wished that Atiyyah were Ghalib.
