1. نَعيٌّ زادَ فيه الدَهرُ ميما

    فأَصبَحَ بَعدَ بُؤساهُ نَعيما

    A eulogy in which fate increased sorrow

    So that after its misery it became bliss

  2. وَما صَدَقَ النَذيرُ بِهِ لِأَنّي

    رَأَيتُ الشَمسَ تَطلُعُ وَالنُجوما

    And the warner was not truthful about it because

    I saw the sun rise and the stars
