1. وَكَأَنَّ الزِقَّ مَملوءاً إِذا

    ما بَطَحنا الزِقَّ زِنجِيٌّ سَرَق

    And the full wineskin seems, when

    we lay the wineskin flat, like a Zanj man who stole,

  2. شُدَّ بِالحَبلِ وَلَقّوا فَضلَهُ

    فَوقَ أَعلى حَلقِهِ حَتّى اِختَنَق

    bound with a rope, and they twisted its slack

    above the top of his throat until he suffocated.
