1. أطَفنَ ببلكوثٍ ثلاثاً يَعُدنَه

    ويومينِ لا يطمعن إِلاَّ الشكائِما

    They circled Balkūth for three days, visiting him,

    and for two days, hoping for nothing but recompense.

  2. يُطالِبنَ دينا بعد ما قد مَنَعنَه

    وكان طوالاً بالأسِنَّةِ عالِما

    They demand a debt after having already withheld it,

    and he was tall, skilled with spearheads.
