1. عجبت لذي سقمٍ معضل

    يَسوم الطَبيب وَيُكدي عَلَيه

    I marvel at one with an intractable illness,

    who haggles with the physician and is stingy toward him:

  2. يَضِن عَلَيهِ بِديناره

    وَيَجعلُ مُهجتهُ في يَديه

    he begrudges him his dinar,

    yet places his very life in his hands.
