1. أَقاضي المُسلمين حكمتَ حُكماً

    غَدا وبه الزمانُ له عَبوسا

    O judge of the Muslims, you have passed a judgment

    At which Time itself has come to frown.

  2. سجَنتَ على دراهمَ ذا جمال

    ولم تَسجِنه إذا غَصب النُفوسا

    You imprisoned a handsome man over dirhams,

    Yet did not imprison him when he stole souls.
