1. أَعَاذِلٌ إِنَّهُ مالٌ طَرِيفٌ

    أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ مالٍ تَلادِ

    O reproacher, it is indeed newly acquired wealth,

    Dearer to me than inherited wealth.

  2. أَعَاذِلَ إِنَّما أَفْنَى شَبابِي

    وَأَقرَحَ عاتِقِي حَمْلُ النِّجادِ

    O reproacher, nothing has consumed my youth

    And made my shoulder sore but bearing the sword-belt.
