1. لهفي لشعرٍ بارعٍ نظمته

    تحتاج بهجته لرفدٍ بارع

    Alas for a brilliant poem I composed:

    Its beauty needs a splendid gift.

  2. دٌرٌّ يتيمٌ قد تضوّع نشره

    يا من يرق على اليتيم الضائع

    An orphan pearl whose fragrance has already spread—

    O you who take pity on the lost orphan!
