1. تقدم أهله الطاوين يمشي

    إلى ذي نعمة أثرى وجمع

    He walked ahead of his starving family

    To a man of plenty who had grown rich and amassed wealth.

  2. وغمغم قائلا إنا جياع

    فقال يرده جوعوا لنشبع

    And he murmured, saying, “Indeed, we are hungry.”

    Then he replied, rebuffing him: “Go hungry so that we may eat our fill.”
