1. إني بفعل الله أولُ مؤمنٍ

    وبما قضاه النجمُ أولُ كافرِ

    Indeed, I am the first to believe in God's action,

    And the first to disbelieve in what the star has decreed.

  2. كذبَ الحكيمُ فما لَهُ منْ قوةٍ

    وذوو النجومِ فما لهم من ناصر

    The sage has lied; he has no power.

    And those versed in the stars have no helper.
