1. رأيتُ أذاكُمُ وإنِ اعتزلتُم

    جَنوباً تستديرُ على ذُراها

    I saw your harm, even if you kept apart,

    as a south wind wheeling over its crests.

  2. فأما لؤْمكُمْ عن كل خيرٍ

    فعينُ الفَهْد لا تَقضِي كَراها

    As for your baseness, aloof from every good,

    it is the leopard's eye, never having its fill of sleep.
