1. كيف نخشى فاقة الجهال من

    بعد ما نلنا شذور الذهب

    How can we fear the poverty of the ignorant,

    after we have gained nuggets of gold

  2. وارتشفنا من ثنايا لفظه

    فزهدنا في ارتشاف الضرب

    and sipped from the folds of his speech,

    thus losing our taste for sipping white honey?
