1. قد حويتُ السُمَّ والشَّهدَ معاً

    بالنَّدى والبأسِ في لونِ مِدادِ

    I have contained poison and honey together

    With dew and might in the hue of ink

  2. وفضلتُ الجنسَ اِذْ يُكتبُ بي

    مَدحُ مولانا عليِّ بن طِرادِ

    And I have preferred the race when it is written with me

    Praise of our Master Ali son of Tirad
