1. قالت الناس فلانٌ قد غدا

    بعد مسِّ الفقر ذا مالٍ عريض

    People said so-and-so became

    After the touch of poverty, a man of ample wealth

  2. لا وعليائك ما عندِيَ ما

    يدخل الوزن سوى نظم القريض

    No, by your life, I have no wealth

    That would fit the meter except for weaved verses
