1. Shall the innocent be blamed while the sons of Adi are guilty?
And Darim punished when they are free from fault?
١. أَتُترَكُ عارِضٌ وَبَنو عَدِيٌّ
وَتَغرَمُ دارِمٌ وَهُمُ بَراءُ
2. Like the ox that is beaten with staves
When the cows are cured of their thirst.
٢. كَدَأبِ الثَورِ يُضرَبُ بِالهَراوي
إِذا ما عافَتِ البَقَرُ الظِماءُ
3. How can you assign to Suhail the task of poetry
When between them are the stars and the heavens?
٣. وَكَيفَ تُكَلِّفُ الشِعرى سُهيلاً
وَبَينَهُما الكَواكِبُ وَالسَماءُ
