يا قفا طاهِرٍ وكَفَّ أبي مل

بسِ كيفَ اجتَمعتُما في مَكانِ

O pure nape and palm of my faultless father

Tell me how you both came together in one place

أينَ هَذا وذا ومَا صَنعةُ الفَق

قاعِ مِن جِنسِ صَنعةِ الدِّيوانِ

Where is this and that and what is the condition of destitution

It is of the same making as the making of wealth
