1. How many wise men has time made into donkeys
Who tread on silken carpets haughtily
١. قالَ كَم صانعَ الزَمانُ حَميراً
يَتَخطّونَ فَوقَ بُسُطِ الحَريرِ
2. I said, you will not quench your thirst for blaming people
By becoming envious of donkeys
٢. قُلتُ لَن تَشتَفي بِذَمّ أُناسٍ
بِهِم صِرتِ حاسِداً لِلحَميرِ
