1. O you who take back little of what you obtain
Is all this avarice for the sake of ten?
١. يا مُستَرِدّاً قَليلَ نائِلِهِ
أَكُلُّ هَذا حِرصاً عَلى العَشرَه
2. You thought it was wealth, so you took it
From a poet or did you think it was a vineyard?
٢. ظَنَنتَ فيها الغِنى فَتَأخُذَها
مِن شاعِرٍ أَم حَسِبتَها كَمَرَه
3. Leave it be, for it circulates
Like scorpions spreading through the lands
٣. دونَكَها إِنَّها مُصَرَّفَةٌ
عَقارِباً في البِلادِ مُنتَشِرَه
4. His lad was always generous to us
Planting carrots on the side of his tent
٤. جادَ لَنا مِن غُلامَهُ أَبَداً
يَغرِسُ في جانِبِ إِستِهِ جَزَرَه
