1. يا سَيّداً لَم يَزَل في

    كُلّ العُلوم يَجولُ

    O master, who has never ceased, in

    all the sciences, to roam:

  2. ما إسم شيء لَذيذ

    لَهُ النُفوس تَميلُ

    what is the name of a delicious thing

    toward which souls incline?

  3. تَصحيف مَقلوبه في

    بُيوت حَيّ نزولُ

    Its reversed name, with its dots changed, means, in

    a tribe’s homes, lodging.
