1. وفارقني من طارَ بي قبل فرخه

    وكنتُ لديه في أعزّ مكان

    And he who bore me aloft before his own fledgling has left me.

    And with him I held the most honored place.

  2. تغطيت عن دهرِي بظلِّ جناحه

    فعيني ترى دهري وليس يراني

    I sheltered from my fate in the shade of his wing;

    So my eye sees my fate, yet it does not see me.
