1. إنَّ فُتوحاً جَامِعٌ شَمْلَ الفِتَنْ

    أَقوَدُ لِلعَاصي الحُرُونِ مِن رَسَنْ

    Indeed, Futuh gathers all temptations together,

    Better than a halter at leading the stubborn rebel.

  2. كَمْ وَرَدَ الماءَ لَدَيهِ وَرَعَى

    حَشِيشَةً في بَيتهِ ظبىٌ أَغَنْ

    How many have come to water at his place and grazed

    On grass within his house—nasal-voiced gazelles!

  3. وَنُزْهَةُ الفُسَّاقِ في بَيتهِ ذا

    والماءُ والخُضْرَةُ والوَجْهُ الحَسَنْ

    And in this house of his lie the libertines' delights:

    Water, greenery, and a handsome face.
