ناصِبٌ قالَ لي مُعاوِيَة خا
لُكَ خيرُ الأَعمامِ وَالأَخوالِ
A Nāṣibī said to me, “Muʿāwiya is your maternal un—
—cle, the best of paternal and maternal uncles;
فَهوَ خالٌ لِلمُؤمِنينَ جَميعاً
قُلتُ خالي لكِن مِنَ الخَيرِ خالي
for he is a maternal uncle to all the believers.”
I said, “My uncle—but empty of goodness.”
Sol 5.6
