1. أَسلَمَ المُدنَ وَالحُصونَ وَوَلَّى

    يَحسَبُ المَوتَ تَحتَ كُلِّ قِيامِ

    He surrendered the cities and fortresses and turned away.

    He thinks death lurks beneath every act of rising.

  2. صَنَعَ الحَزمَ عامَ أَوَّل لكِن

    ضَيَّعَ الحَزمَ كُلَّهُ في العامِ

    He exercised prudence last year, but

    squandered all that prudence this year.
