1. تَأسَّ ولا تَأْسَ مِنْ عَضَّةٍ

    فَكَمْ لَكَ في مِثْلِها مَوْعِظَهْ

    Take solace, and do not grieve over a bite;

    for in its like there is many a lesson for you.

  2. صُروفُ الزّمانِ إذَا أَسْرَعَتْ

    إلى يَقِظٍ عَدَّها مُوقِظَهْ

    When the vicissitudes of time hasten

    toward one who is wakeful, he deems them an awakening.
