1. My servants wander in Wasit
Hungry, though we didn't wish them ill,
١. واجر غلماني في واسط
جوعٌ وكانوا لا يرامونا
2. Gave them what little we could spare,
Yet they took more than their fill.
٢. جادوا بما كنت ضنيناً به
فاتسعوا مما يناكونا
3. If what I own matched their greed,
I'd be as wealthy as Korah.
٣. لو أنّ رزقي مثلُ أدبارهم
كنت من الإثراء قارونا
