A paltry little tribe—the best of them is the worst,
A little tribe: its best is its worst,
and the truest of them, the sinful liar.
And its most truthful is the sinful liar.

Their guest, amid their tents,
And their guest, amid their dwellings,
though not observing a fast, still fasts.
Even if he was not fasting, is left fasting.
