1. أَبِالبُخلِ تَطلُبُ ما قَدَّمَت

    عَرانينَ جادَت بِأَموالِها

    Is it through stinginess that you seek what was offered

    by eminent chiefs who gave freely of their wealth?

  2. فَهَيهاتَ خالَفتَ فِعلَ الكِرامِ

    خِلافَ الجِمالِ بِأبوالِها

    Far from it, then! You have gone against the conduct of the noble,

    as camels send their urine backward.
