أَبا عُمَرٍ ما في طُلابيكَ حاجَةٌ

وَلا في الَّذي مَنَّيتَنا ثُمَّ أَضجَرا

Oh Abu Umar, none of your students need

Nor he who granted us what we wished then grew bored

وَعَدتَ فَلَم تَصدُق وقُلتَ غَداً غَداً

كَما وُعِدَ الكَمّونُ شُرباً مُؤَخَّرا

You promised but did not fulfill, and said “tomorrow, tomorrow,”

As the feverish were promised a deferred drink
