1. لاية خصلتين دعوتمانا

    فلبيكم إجابة مستطيل

    To which of two courses have you two summoned us?

    So here we are at your call, with the reply of one asserting superiority.

  2. فإن تك في مُناوأة أخذنا

    بسجل في الخّماشة ذوي فضول

    And if it be hostile rivalry, we have taken up

    a full bucket in the feud, as men of abundant merit.
