1. The camel complains of the burden upon its back,
And reproaches the long night with verses of woe,
١. وأغيدُ يشكو خصرهُ جورَ رِدفه
ويُمسي بليلِ الشعرِ وهوَ يعاتبه
2. One is stuffed to the full while another sleeps hungry,
When the youth is replete it is base if his friend goes unfed.
٢. يشَّبع ذا لحماً وذا باتَ جائِعاً
وشبع الفتى لؤمٌ إذا جاعَ صاحبه
