1. No harm in petty slander if to his abode
Ride, from each clime, the grandsires of its tribes;
١. وَمَا ضَرَّهُ شَنٌّ صَغِيرٌ وَقَد سَرَى
إلى بَابِهِ مِن كُلِّ قَطْرٍ كَبيرُهُ
2. His steeds are currycombed while the children's bed

٢. علَى صَهَواتِ الخَيْلِ مَرْبَاهُ مُذْنَشَا
إذا رَبَّ طِفلاً مَهدُهُ وَسَرِيرُهُ
