1. My friend brings harm and toils day and night
He wrongs me though no fire consumes his plight
١. لي ابن عمٍّ يجرُّ الشرَّ مجتهداً
عليَّ قدماً ولا يصلى له نارا
2. He reaps as he sows, so I pray as he reaps
The more lively he seems, the more kindling I keep
٢. يجني فأصلَى بما يجني فيخذُلُني
وكلما كان زنداً كنت مسعارا
