1. أهلُ هَذا الزَّمانِ عندَ العَانِ

    إنْ تأمَّلتَ مِنْ ذُكورِ الضّانِ

    The people of this age, on inspection,

    if you reflect, are among the rams.

  2. ثمَّ لَيسوا مِنَ السَّمينِ معَ الشِّقْوَةِ

    لكِنْ مِنَ الهَزيلِ الضّاني

    Moreover, for all their wretchedness, they are not among the fat,

    but among the lean and sickly.
