1. تُنسيكَ عُرْقُوباً لهُ قَواعِدٌ

    عَن مَنْهجِ القَوْلِ الصَّحِيحِ نُكِّبَتْ

    His principles make you forget ʿUrqūb;

    they have been diverted from the path of truthful speech.

  2. لا تَبْنِ آمالاً عَلَيها إنَّها

    وَاهِيَةُ الأُسِّ وَقَد تَعَرْقَبَتْ

    Build no hopes upon them, for they are

    weak in foundation and have become like ʿUrqūb.
