1. فَعِد صاحِبَ اللحّامِ سيفاً تَبيعُهُ

    وَزِد دِرهماً فوقَ المُغالينَ واخنَعِ

    So promise the owner of al-Laḥḥām a sword you will sell,

    And add a dirham above the high bidders, and humble yourself.

  2. نَدينُ وَيَقضي اللَه عنا وَقَد نرى

    مصارِعَ قومٍ لا يَدينونَ ضيَّعِ

    We incur debts, and God repays for us; and indeed we see

    The deaths of people who incur no debts, themselves lost.
