1. أيا صاحبي قم نبصر الماء إنه

    أصابته عين إذ طغى وتجبرا

    O my friend, rise; let us behold the water, for it

    was struck by the evil eye when it surged and grew arrogant.

  2. تقطر لما أن جرى في سحابه

    وأصبح في السلسال يمشي مكسرا

    It fell in drops when it flowed within its cloud,

    And in the flowing stream it came to walk, broken.
