1. عندَ رأسِ المَزادِ عادَني السُّهْدُ

    ولمْ تُغْنِ حيلَتي واجْتِهادي

    At Ra’s al-Mazad, sleeplessness visited me;

    and neither my resourcefulness nor my efforts availed.

  2. حسْبِيَ اللهُ كيْفَ يَبْرا سَريعاً

    سهَرٌ عنْ صُداعِ رأسِ الَمزادِ

    God suffices me! How can it quickly be cured—

    sleeplessness caused by the headache of Ra’s al-Mazad?
