يا رب أسألك الغنى عن معشرٍ
غضبوا وكافوا بالجفاء ترددي
O Lord, I ask You to free me from dependence on my circle—
They grew angry and repaid my repeated visits with cold rebuff.
قالوا كرهنا منه مدّ لسانه
والله ما كرهوا سوى مدّ اليد
They said, “We disliked the way he stretched out his tongue.”
By God, they disliked nothing but his stretching out his hand.
Sol 5.6
