1. ولولا نزارٌ لضاق الفضاء

    ولم يبق حرز ولا معقل

    And were it not for Nizār, the wide expanse would have narrowed;

    And no refuge or stronghold would have remained;

  2. واخرجت الأرض اثقالها

    وادخل في امه دعبل

    And the earth would have cast out its burdens;

    And Diʿbil would have been thrust into his mother.
