1. The emptied water-skin, which to thee was granted,
Well-nigh had made me drown with drought when parted.

2. Abu Hasan! him would I with life requite,
Who, when I cry to other, "Give me drink" says "Nay."

3. None save he helps me when in need I sink:
And when I cry "Give drink," lone he doth give, I think.
