1. وَمُغضٍ لِلمَهابَةِ عَن جَوابي

    وَإِنَّ لِسانَهُ العَضبُ الصَقيلُ

    And one, in awe, refrains from answering me,

    though his tongue is a keen, polished sword.

  2. أَطَلتُ عِتابُهُ عَنَتاً وَظُلماً

    فَجَمجَمَ ثُمَّ قالَ كَما تَقولُ

    I reproached him at length, harshly and unjustly;

    so he mumbled, then said, “As you say.”
