1. وقد غمزوا مع العيدان عودي

    ليختبروا الصحيح من المريب

    And they put my rod under strain alongside the other rods,

    to distinguish the sound from the suspect.

  2. فلان الخروع الخوار منا

    وبان تكرم النبع الصليب

    The feeble castor wood among us yielded,

    and the nobility of the sturdy nabʿ wood was revealed.
