1. الشيخُ صقرُ الخازني قد مَضَى

    ما كان الا صقر عين العِدَى

    Sheikh Saqr al-Khazini has passed away.

    He was none but a falcon preying on his foes’ eyes.

  2. صقرٌ هي العنقاءُ من دونهِ

    قد صادهُ الدهرُ بشِصّ الودى

    A falcon beneath whom even the phoenix stood.

    Time has caught him with death’s fishhook.

  3. فقلت للدهر بتاريخهِ

    تصيدُ صقراً في شراك الرَدَى

    So I said to Time, in his chronogram:

    You catch a falcon in the snares of death.
