1. يَمُرّونَ بِالدَهنا خِفافاً غِيابُهُم

    وَيَرجِعنَ مِن دارينَ بُجرَ الحقائِبِ

    They pass through al-Dahna with their bags light,

    And return from Darin with bulging saddlebags,

  2. عَلى حينِ أَلهى الناسَ جُلَّ أَمورِهِم

    فَنَدلاً زُرَيقُ المالَ نَدلَ الثَعالِبِ

    While people are distracted by the bulk of their affairs—

    So snatch the wealth, Zurayq, as foxes snatch!
