1. لا مَرحَباً بِالناقِصِ اِبنِ الفاضِلِ

    هَذا اِبنُ قُسٍّ في فَهاهَةِ باقِلِ

    No welcome to the deficient son of al-Fadil!

    This is Quss’s son, with Baqil’s inarticulacy.

  2. وَأَجَلُّ قَدراً مِنهُ بَغلَتُهُ الَّتي

    أَضحى أَبوها مِنهُ فَوقَ الكاهل

    And worthier than he is his mule, whose

    father is now the part of him above the shoulders.
