1. لولا الإله وإنني متخوف

    مما أقول لعنت قبر خليل

    Were it not for God—and indeed I am fearful

    of what I say—I would have cursed Khalil’s grave.

  2. ألقى مسائل في العروض تغمنا

    من فاعل مستفعلن وفعول

    He posed problems in prosody that distress us,

    concerning fāʿil, mustafʿilun, and faʿūl.
