1. The cold shriveled ʿAmr’s guest until he became

    like a man stricken with infirmity, dear brother.

  2. All night, cold was the misery clothing him without,

    and hunger—gnawing hunger—the lining within.

  3. And ʿAmr has always meant hunger and bitter cold for a guest,

    and abasement and disgrace for his master.
