1. فاخرتُ بِودّكم مَدى الأَحقابِ

    أَرجو قِدَمَ الصدق مَع الأَعقابِ

    I have boasted of your affection through the ages.

    I hope for lasting sincerity among generations to come.

  2. قَد أَندب رُكبَتي مجاثاتُكُم

    يا قُبحَ نكوصِكم عَلى الأَعقابِ

    Sitting knee-to-knee with you has scarred my knee.

    How ugly your turning back on your heels!
