1. فَلَيتَ أَبا شُرَيحٍ جارُ عَمرُو

    حَيا عَوفٍ وَغَيَّبَهُ القُبورُ

    Would that Abu Shurayh, Amr’s neighbor,

    Had greeted Awf [uncertain reading], and the graves had concealed him.

  2. وَما دَهري بِشَتمِكَ فَاِعلَمنَهُ

    وَلَكِن أَنتَ مَخذولٌ كَبيرُ

    And reviling you is not my way—know that well—

    But you are forsaken and old.
