وَمعَتَّقٌ حُرِمَ الوَقودَ كَرامَةَ

كَدَمِّ الذَبيحِ تَمُجُّهُ أَوداجُهُ

A freed man, firewood was forbidden to him out of respect,

Like the blood of a slaughtered victim, his innards churn.

ضَمِنَ الكُرومُ لَهُ أَوائِلَ حَملِهِ

وَعَلى الدِنانِ تَمامُهُ وَنَتاجُهُ

The vineyards guaranteed him the first of their yield,

And on the spears his full portion and offspring.
