1. زَمَنٌ تنكَّر فِعلُهُ إذ إِنَّهُ

    لا يُعرَف المعلومُ من مجهولهِ

    An age whose ways have grown strange, for in it

    the known cannot be distinguished from the unknown.

  2. فَسَدَ القِياسُ من المقدَّم إذ غدا

    موضوعُهُ يعلو على محمولهِ

    The syllogism has become unsound at the premise, for now

    its subject rises above its predicate.
