1. لهفي عليه شهاباً كان مؤتلفاً

    هوى فأخطا مكانَ الرحيمِ فاحترقا

    Alas for him—a meteor that once was in harmony!

    He fell, missed the Merciful's abode, and burned.

  2. تقبَّل اللهُ قرباناً جرى دمُه

    عَلَى الثَّرى فتراءَى في السما شفقا

    May God accept an offering whose blood flowed

    Upon the earth, then appeared in the sky as twilight's red glow.
