1. ما لِأَبي إِسحاقَ في ذِكرى فَرَج

    لِأَنَّهُ يَعرِفُ لي شِعراً خَرَج

    Abu Ishaq finds no relief at the mention of me,

    For he knows a poem of mine has come out.

  2. إِن قيلَ هَذا حَسَنٌ قالَ سَمج

    أَدخَلَهُ بِالهَجوِ مِن حَيثُ خَرَج

    If someone says, “This is good,” he says, “Vile!”

    It thrust him back in with satire, through where he came out.
