1. اقضِ لي حاجتي ولا تمطلنّي

    فأرى الغُنم من نداكا غراما

    Fulfill my need, and do not put me off,

    lest I see the gain from your bounty as a loss.

  2. ما يفي غُنْمُ غانمٍ نالَ مأمو

    لاً بعيداً بغُرمه الأياما

    No gain of one who attains a hoped-for goal,

    long deferred, can make up for the days he has lost.
