1. ومَوْسوسٍ عندَ الطَّهارَةِ لم يزلْ

    أَبداً على الماءِ الكثير مُوَاظبَا

    And a man beset by doubts at ritual purification never ceased

    to use copious water with unceasing diligence.

  2. يَستصغرُ البحْرَ الكبيرَ لذقنهِ

    ويَظُنُّ دِجلةَ ليسَ تكفي شارِبَا

    He deems the vast sea too small for his chin,

    and thinks the Tigris would not suffice for a moustache.
