1. The man blessed with good fortune prospers, while the covetous man suffers;

    For all creation, there is no escape from fate’s decree.

  2. Where are the kings of the earth, the men of Himyar—

    the most generous men toward whom a young she-camel ever sped?

  3. Jayfar, the lavish giver, was carried off by

    Time, ever intent on tearing down lofty glories.
