تجشأت في وجه بوابه

ليعرف شبعي فلا أمنعُ

I cleared my throat at the gatekeeper's face

So he'd know I'm full, lest I'm denied

وقلت له إن بي تخمةً

فهل من دواء لها ينفع

And told him my belly held a seed

Was there a cure that would provide?

فقال لقد غرني معشر

بهذا الحديث الذي أسمع

He said a group has fooled me well

With this talk I'm hearing now

فلما نذرت بهم صاحبي

ولاحت موائده أوجعوا

When I threatened my friends with it

And his feast drew close they wavered

فراحوا بطاناً ذوي كظةٍ

وأقبلت من أجلهم أصفع

They scurried with malicious intent

And because of them I was slapped
