1. لا تَنكرِي صَمْتي فَإنَّ الذي

    قَارَبَ وِرْدَ المَوْتِ كالمَيّتِ

    Do not reproach my silence, for one who

    has approached death’s watering place is like the dead.

  2. مُذْ أُسْرِجَ الأَشُهَبُ يَا هذهِ

    مِن لِمَّتي أُلجُمتُ عَن حُجَّتي

    Since the gray steed was saddled, O woman,

    from my locks, I have been bridled from making my case.
