1. قالَت أَتَرى الحيَّ بِقَتلي ائتَمروا

    ما الحيلَةُ ما الرأي حَديثي سَمَرُ

    She said, "Do you think the clan has conspired to kill me?

    What is the remedy? What is the counsel? My story is evening talk."

  2. إِن يَخشَ منَ القَوم سِراراً قَمَري

    لا غَروَ مِنَ السِرارِ يؤتى القَمَرُ

    If my moon fears the people's secret whispers,

    No wonder: the moon is assailed by its dark phase.
