1. وَبَلدَةٍ ما كُنتُ في أَهلِها

    إِلّا لِراجي الصَيدِ مِن محرمِ

    And a town where, among its people, I was

    only like one hoping for game from a consecrated pilgrim.

  2. قالَ المُنى فيها وَقَد رُمتُهُ

    حاشايَ أَرجى مِن بَني الدَيلَمِ

    Hope spoke there, when I had sought it:

    “Far be it from me to be hoped for from the sons of Daylam!”
