1. يَمُرُّونَ بِالدَهنا خِفافاً عِيابُهُم

    وَيَخرُجنَ مِن دارِينَ بُجرَ الحَقائِبِ

    They pass through al-Dahna, their bags light,

    And leave Darin with bulging saddlebags,

  2. عَلى حين أَلهَى الناسَ جُلُّ أُمورِهِم

    فَنَدلاً زُرَيقُ المال نَدل الثَعالِبِ

    At a time when their chief concerns kept people occupied—

    So snatch the wealth, Zurayq, as foxes snatch.
