1. خطيبٌ حسنُهُ حسنٌ بديعٌ

    وفي الدرجاتِ حُقَّ لهُ الترقي

    A preacher whose beauty is exquisite;

    And ascent through the ranks is his rightful due.

  2. فإنْ لبسَ السوادَ فَبَدْرُ تَمٍّ

    وإنْ لبسَ البياضَ فشمسُ أفقِ

    For if he wears black, he is a full moon;

    And if he wears white, he is the sun on the horizon.
