1. Ah, who will carry word from me to al-Nu‘man?

    For while a man laughs heartily, suddenly he dies.

  2. You obeyed the sons of Buqaylah in putting me in bonds,

    Though we had been a choking sickness in their throats.

  3. You granted them the Euphrates and both its banks,

    And give us stagnant waters and salty waters to drink.
