1. للَه دهرٌ سار بي متقلّباً

    تنبيك عنه وساوسٌ وهواجسُ

    God's is an age that carried me along, ever changing;

    Anxious thoughts and misgivings tell you of it.

  2. قد زاد في حركات لبي مثلما

    قد زاد في حركاته المتكاوسُ

    It has increased the stirrings of my mind, just as

    The mutakāwis rhyme has increased its vowelled sounds.
