1. قَد كُنتُ أَصبِرُ وَالدِيارُ بَعيدَةٌ

    فَاليَومَ قَد قَرُبَت وَصَبرِيَ فَاني

    I used to endure while the dwellings were far away;

    yet today they have drawn near, and my patience is spent.

  2. ما ذاكَ مِن عَكسِ القِياسِ وَإِنَّما

    لِتَضاعُفِ الحَسَراتِ بِالحِرمانِ

    That is not contrary to reason, but rather

    because deprivation redoubles the sorrows.
