1. لَوْلا الحطَيئَةُ هَاجَاني لَقالَ وَمَا

    عَلَيهِ في الحَقِّ مِن عَابٍ وَلا عَارِ

    Had al-Hutay’ah not satirized me, he would have said—and

    in truth, no blame or shame would fall upon him:

  2. دَعِ المَكارمَ لَمْ تَرْحَلْ لِبُغيتِها

    وابعُدْ فإنكَ أَنتَ الجائعُ العَارِي

    Abandon noble deeds; you have not journeyed in pursuit of them.

    And keep away, for you yourself are hungry and naked.
