1. O Yazid of the Azd, indeed Yazid of my people—

    your namesake—does not give as generously as you do.

  2. He leads a group, and you lead another;

    so you provide for those you lead and those he leads.

  3. He is like you in birth and name,

    but he does not give as generously as you do.

  4. For ninety, belittled by three,

    whose reckoning a stern man performs,

  5. and a rough palm clenched for a blow,

    are no more wretched than your gift, O Yazid.
