1. قُلْتُ لَكُمْ عِنْدَ السُّرَاقِ مُبَلِّغٌ

    أخذِي عَنِ المَذْكُور مَا مَعْنَاهُ

    I told you: among the thieves is one who conveys

    what I borrowed from the aforesaid, to this effect:

  2. لاَ تَجْعَلُوني في الحَمِيرِ كَناظِمٍ

    سَرَقَتْ يَدَاهُ فَقُطِّعَتْ أُذُناهُ

    “Do not count me among the asses, like a versifier

    whose hands stole and whose ears were then cut off.”
