1. Do not let the Copts hear rhyme
For they are cattle, enjoying bounty
١. لا تُسمِعِ الأَقباطَ قافِيَةً
فَالقَومُ أَنعامٌ لَهُم نَعَمُ
2. You have tested them, and found their cleverest
To be like turnips, with no richness in their pallor
٢. جَرَّبتَهُم فَوَجَدتُ أَظرُفَهُم
كَاللِفتِ ما لِبَياضِهِ دَسَمُ
