1. ما اِحتمل العَقل عَلى بَأسِهِ

    إِساة الفظّ عَلى المحسنِ

    Reason, for all its strength, could not bear

    The boor's mistreatment of the benefactor.

  2. يا وَردة الرَوض الَّتي حَولها

    قَد أَنبَت الدَهر أَبا مُنتنِ

    O rose of the garden, around which

    Time has made Abu Muntin grow.
