    أبو العلاء المعري
    “وقد فتشتُ عن أصحاب دين * لهم نُسْك وليس لهم رياء..
    فألفيتُ البهائم لا عقول * تقيم لها الدليل ولا ضياء..
    وإخوان الفطانة في اختيال * كأنهمُ لقوم أنبياء..
    فأما هؤلاء فأهل مكر * وأما الأولون فأغبياء..
    فإن كان التُّقَى بَلَها وعِيّا * فأعيار المذلة أتقياء..”

    تجاهلت حتى قيل إني جاهل
    فوا عجبا كم يدعي الفضل ناقص
    ووا أسفا كم يظهر النقص فاضل”
