1. ما لَقينا من ظَرفِ ضرطةِ وهبٍ

    صَيَّرت أهلَ دهرِنا شعراءَ

    What drollery we have found in Wahb's fart!

    It has turned the people of our age into poets.

  2. هي عندي كجودِ فضلِ بن يحيى

    غيرَ أنْ ليس تَنْعشُ الفُقراءَ

    To me, it is like the generosity of Fadl ibn Yahya,

    except that it does not revive the poor.
