1. وَحَضَّ الَّذي وَلّى عَلى الصَبرِ وَالتُقى

    وَلَم يَهمُمِ البالي بِأَن يَتَجَشَّعا

    And he urged the one he had appointed to patience and piety,

    and the seasoned man did not think of giving way to dismay.

  2. وَلَو نَزَلَت مِثلُ الَّذي نَزَلَت بِهِ

    تَرَكنَ المُذَرّى مِن أَجا يَتَصَدَّعا

    Had calamities like those that befell him descended,

    they would have left the lofty summit of Ajā splitting apart.
