1. تراه أولاً في الأكل سبقاً

    وعند السير يأتي في الأخير

    You see him first at eating, taking the lead;

    Yet when traveling, he comes in last.

  2. وكم وضعوا سكرجة بقية

    فما منعته عن صحن الشعير

    How often they set down a small dish of leftovers,

    Yet it did not keep him from the dish of barley.
