1. بعض المنظَّم ليس يُجدي وهو في

    حال النظام لغابَةٍ فيُشوَّشُ

    Some of what is ordered is of no use while in

    a state of order for a forest, so it is disordered;

  2. كَحِجارة الختم الصقيلةِ لا تفي

    حَتىَّ يُخدَّشَ سطحها اذ يُنقَشُ

    like polished seal-stones, which do not suffice

    until their surface is scratched as it is engraved.
