شَكا الخصرُ مِنهُ ما يُلاقي برِدفه

وَيُضعِفُ غُصنَ البانِ جَرُّ كَثيبِ

His waist complained of what it endures from him

And the bending of the slender branch weakens it

إِذا كانَ مِنهُ البَعضُ يَظلِمُ بَعضُه

فَما حالُ مشتطِّ الدِيارِ غَريبِ

When some of it oppresses the other

Then what is the state of the foreign land’s traveler
