1. داع مِن الحَقّ بِالحَقّ المُبين دَعا

    حَتّى اِستردّ مِن الأَسرار ما ودعا

    A caller from the Truth called with manifest truth,

    until he reclaimed from the mysteries what he had left.

  2. فَما حَكَت مَدمَعي الخَنساء حينَ بَكَت

    صَخراً وَلَو كانَ صَخراً قَلبها اِنصَدَعا

    So al-Khansa did not match my tears when she wept

    for Sakhr; even had her heart been rock, it would have split.
