1. وآجرْتُ مجدَ الدينِ داري فلمْ يزلْ

    يكلِّفني إصلاحَها وأماطلُ

    And I rented my house to Majd al-Din, and he keeps

    requiring me to repair it, while I put him off.

  2. لقد هُنتُ حتى صرْتُ للمجدِ فاعلاً

    ألا في سبيل المجدِ ما أنا فاعلُ

    I have sunk so low that I have become a laborer for Majd;

    Ah, all that I do is for the sake of glory!
