1. O Miskīn, may God make your eyes weep! Their tears merely

    flowed to waste when those two eyes streamed.

  2. Do you weep for a man—an unbeliever from the people of Maysān—

    like Khosrow in his heyday, or like Caesar?

  3. When news of his death reached me, I said of him:

    May death take him—not a tawny gazelle in the sandy tract.
