1. قالَ لي صاحِبي وَقَد صَفَعَتهُ

    نَفَحاتُ الكُروسِ مَن في وَصيفِ

    My companion said to me, after being slapped

    By wafts of dung from a servant boy’s mouth:

  2. لَعَنَ اللَهُ لَيلَةً بِتُّ فيها

    مَع رَفيقي كَأَنَّنا في الكَنيفِ

    “May God curse the night I spent

    With my companion, as though we were in a latrine!”
