1. يا تاجِرَ المِصرِ ما أَنصَفتَ سائِمَةً

    كَذَبتَها في حَديثٍ مِنكَ مَنسوقِ

    O merchant of the city, you have not dealt fairly with a woman seeking to buy.

    You lied to her in a story you had strung together.

  2. إِن تَشكُ قَطعَ طَريقٍ بِالفَلاةِ فَكَم

    قَطَعتَ مِن قَبلُ طُرُقَ الناسِ في السوقِ

    If you complain of highway robbery in the wilderness, how often

    you have cut off people's paths in the market before!
