1. أطَفنَ ببلكوثٍ ثلاثاً يَعُدنَه

    ويومينِ لا يطمعن إِلاَّ الشكائِما

    They circled Balkuth for three nights, visiting him,

    and two days, hoping for nothing but gifts,

  2. يُطالِبنَ دينا بعد ما قد مَنَعنَه

    وكان طوالاً بالأسِنَّةِ عالِما

    demanding a debt after they had withheld it;

    and he was tall, well versed in spears.
