1. بكى الخَزُّ مِن إِبطَي سَعِيدِ بنِ راشدٍ

    وَمِن استِهِ تبكِي بِغَالُ المَوَاكِبِ

    Silken cloth wept because of Saʿīd ibn Rāshid’s armpits,

    and the mules of the processions weep because of his backside.

  2. فَوَاعَجَباً حَتَّى سَعِيدُ بنُ رَاشدٍ

    لَهُ حَاجِبٌ بِالبَابِ مِن دُونِ حاَجِبِ

    So, what a wonder! Even Saʿīd ibn Rāshid

    has a doorkeeper at the gate, in front of another doorkeeper!
