1. مُنَجِّمٌ تحتَهُ والميلُ قدْ نصبا

    فخانَهُ عقلُ مَنْ يهواهُ معقولُ

    An astrologer is beneath him, and the rod has been set upright.

    So the mind of whoever loves him has betrayed him—it is fettered.

  2. كالشمسِ لوْ أنَّ شمسَ الأفقِ ناطقةٌ

    في دفِّها سعةٌ قدّامُها مِيلُ

    Like the sun, if the sun of the horizon could speak:

    Her side is broad; before her is a rod.
