1. وَيَومٍ مِنَ ايّامِ العَجوزِ كَأَنَّما

    وُجوهُ المَوالي فيهِ بِالثَلجِ تَلطَحُ

    And on one of the Old Woman’s days, it was as though

    The retainers’ faces that day were being slapped with snow.

  2. جَعَلنا صِلانا الراحَ فَالتَهَبَت بِنا

    وَأَوقَدَتِ الأَجوافَ فَالجِلدُ يَرشَحُ

    We made wine our warming fire, so it blazed within us,

    And set our insides aflame, so our skin sweated.
