1. تُرَى لِهذا السّيْرِ منْ مُنْتَهى

    بِناءُ أعْضائِي بهِ قدْ وَهَى

    I wonder, is there any end to this journey?

    The frame of my limbs has already grown weak from it.

  2. قالُوا نُريدُ البُرجْ قلْتُ ارْجِعوا

    عنْ سهْوِكُمْ قد جُزْتُ بُرْجَ السُّها

    They said, “We want the tower.” I said, “Turn back

    from your error; I have already passed the tower of al-Suhā.”
