1. لَعَمْرُكَ ما أغارَ على عدوٍّ

    كجَيْشِ النّصْرِ بورِكَ منْ مُغيرِ

    By your life, none has raided a foe

    Like the army of victory—blessed be that raider!

  2. ولا شَرَحَتْ مدوَّنَةَ المَعالي

    سِوى فُتْيا أبي الحَسَنِ الصّغيرِ

    Nor has the compendium of noble deeds been expounded

    Save by the legal opinion of Abu al-Hasan al-Saghir.
