1. أَأُمسي في جِوار الغَثيِ عَطشى

    وَقَد رَوى البلادَ نَدى نديّه

    Shall I spend the evening thirsty beside the rain,

    when the dew of his assembly has already watered the lands?

  2. وَيَهضمُ جانِبي وَاللَيثُ جاري

    لَعمرِكَ أَنَّ ذا عَيبٌ عَليّه

    And shall I be slighted while the lion is my neighbor?

    By your life, this is a disgrace to him.
