1. صديقٌ قال لي لَمّا رَآني

    وَقد صَلَّيتُ زُهداً ثمَّ صُمتُ

    A friend said to me when he saw me—

    And I had prayed out of asceticism, then fasted—

  2. على يدِ أيّ شيختُبتَ قُل لي

    فقلتُ على يد الإِفلاس تُبتُ

    “Tell me, at the hands of which sheikh did you repent?”

    So I said, “At the hands of bankruptcy I repented.”
