1. عذيري في زماني من صديق

    على مالي وعرضي قد تسلط

    Who will defend me, in these times, against a friend

    who has taken control of my wealth and my honor?

  2. تأول إذ تأخر عنه خيري

    فهل ألقاه يوما توسط

    He interpreted matters when my bounty was late in reaching him;

    so will I ever find him taking a middle course?
