1. نَجمٌ بِأَرضِ سَلا أَراب سُقوطُهُ

    قَد كُنتُ أَسرَحُ في مَطارح ضوئِهِ

    A star in the land of Salé—its fall brought disquiet.

    I used to roam where its light fell.

  2. لا تُنكروا صِلَةَ النَواظِر بَعده

    ديمَ الدُموعِ فَإِنَّها من نوئِهِ

    Do not find the eyes' tribute strange after its passing:

    Steady rains of tears, for they come from its setting.
