1. دارَى ثَلاثَتَهُ بِلُطف ثَلاثَةٍ

    فَثَنّى بِذاكَ رَقيبَهُ لَم يَشعُرِ

    He managed his three with three subtle arts;

    Thus he diverted his watcher, who did not notice:

  2. أَسرارَهُ بِتَسَتُّر وَأَوارهُ

    بِتَصَبُّرٍ وَخَبالهُ بِتَوَقُّرِ

    His secrets through concealment, and his burning heat

    Through patient endurance, and his madness through dignified composure.
