1. عَجِبتُ لِعُروَةَ العُذريَّ أَمسى

    أَحاديثاً لِقَومٍ بَعدَ قَومِ

    I marvel at ʿUrwah al-ʿUdhri, who has become

    The subject of tales among one people after another.

  2. وَعُروَةُ ماتَ مَوتاً مُستَريحاً

    وَهاأَنَذا أَموتُ بِكُلِّ يَومِ

    And ʿUrwah died a restful death,

    While here I am, dying every day.
