1. ما سئمت الزمان إلا لحر

    مان كريم فيه وحظ لئيم

    I have wearied of the age only because of the deprivation

    of a noble man in it, and the good fortune of a base man.

  2. وتراءى اللئيم أقبح في العي

    نين مرأى من افتقار الكريم

    And the base man appeared to the eyes a more hideous

    sight than the noble man's poverty.
