1. The wretched rat, once an impudent thief,
Now lies dead, victim of cruel fate.

2. The Kenani struck him down in battle,
While the Amiri finished him off in haste.

3. Both men attacked and righteously slew him,
But which of them robbed him, that daring knave?

4. And which gave chase from behind, evilly eager?
For in his tail remains a bitter sting.
