1. أَيا كاسياً مِن جيّدِ الصُوفِ جِسمَهُ

    وَيا عارياً مِن كُلِّ فَضلٍ وَمِن كَيسِ

    O you who clothe your body in fine wool,

    and O you naked of all virtue and good sense,

  2. أَتَزهى بِصوفٍ وَهوَ بِالأَمسِ مُصبِحٌ

    عَلى نَعجَةٍ وَالآن مُمسٍ عَلى تيسِ

    do you strut in wool that yesterday morning was

    on a ewe, and now at evening is on a he-goat?
