1. وتَنفِرُ مِن عَمروٍ بِبَيداءَ ناقَتي

    وَما كانَ ساري اللَّيلِ يَنفِرُ عن عَمرِو

    My she-camel shies away from Amr in a barren wilderness,

    yet no traveler by night used to shy away from Amr.

  2. لقَد حَبَّبت عِندِي الحَياةَ حَياتُهُ

    وحُبِّبَ سُكنى القَبرِ مُذ صارَ في القَبر

    His life indeed made life dear to me,

    and dwelling in the grave has become dear to me since he came to lie in the grave.
