1. طبيب غدا في الكُحْل غيرَ مُوَفّق

    لَهُ حكمة تَجْني على العين والسَمْع

    A physician has proved inept at applying kohl;

    His medical wisdom harms both eye and ear.

  2. إذا أرمَد وافاهُ يَشكو تألماً

    منَ العين داوى العينَ كالضِّرس بالقمْع

    Whenever someone with inflamed eyes comes to him complaining of pain

    In the eye, he treats the eye like a molar—with brute force.
