1. سعى العزول بقتلي شللاً

    فسرَّ لما رأَني في سرير ضيا

    The reproacher sought my death—may paralysis strike him!

    So he rejoiced when he saw me in a bed of light.

  2. ما قال قد مات إلا والحسام بدا

    في راحتي ونفضت القبر والكفنا

    No sooner had he said, “He has died,” than the sword appeared

    in my palm, and I shook off the grave and the shroud.
