1. I saw in the hand of a swaggering son a staff
So I asked him about it to explain an excuse
١. أَبصَرتُ في كفِّ اِبن متويٍّ عَصاً
فسَأَلتُهُ عَنها لِيوضِحَ عُذرا
2. He answered me that with it he acts old
And for it he has other purposes
٢. فَأَجابَني اِنّي بِها مُتَشايِخٌ
هذا وَلي فيها مَآرِبُ اخرى
