أَمِن قُطَرٍ حالَت فَقُلتُ لَها قِري

أَلَم تَعلَمي ماذا تجنُّ الصَّفائِحُ

Did she turn away from Qutar? I said to her, “Stay—”

Do you not know what the grave slabs conceal?

تُجنُّ أَبا بِشرٍ جَواداً بِمالِهِ

إِذا ضَنَّ بِالمالِ النُّفوسُ الشَّحائِحُ

They conceal Abu Bishr, generous with his wealth

when miserly souls begrudged their wealth.
