1. ما لاح في أفق الشبيبة طالعاً

    كالبدر ليل تمامه حتى هوى

    Scarcely had he appeared, rising on the horizon of youth,

    like the full moon on the night of its fullness, when he fell.

  2. غابت محاسن وجهه فكأنها

    برقٌ تالق بالحمى ثم انطوى

    The beauties of his face vanished, as though they were

    lightning that gleamed over the protected grounds, then vanished.
