1. أهْوِنْ بسيِّد فِتْيَةٍ نال الغِنَى

    بدَناءَةٍ مَنَعتْهُ فيهم رُشْدَهُ

    How contemptible is a leader of young men who gained wealth

    through baseness that denied him his sound judgment among them!

  2. وعليه جُلْجُلُ سَبَّةٍ ولآَمَةٍ

    ستُشَدُّ لكن هل يُرَى مَن شَدَّهُ

    And upon him a bell of disgrace and ignobility

    will be fastened—but will the one who fastened it be seen?
