1. نَفَسُ الخَصيبِ جَميعُهُ كِذبُ

    وَحَديثُهُ لِجَليسِهِ كَربُ

    Al-Khasib's every breath is a lie;

    And his talk is anguish to his companion.

  2. تَبكي الثِيابُ عَلَيهِ مُعوِلَةً

    أَن قَد يَجُرَّ ذُيولَها كَلبُ

    The clothes weep over him, wailing,

    That a dog should drag their hems.
