1. يختلسُ الأنفسَ باستلابِهْ

    كلبٌ يُلقَّى الوحيَ من كلَّابِهِ

    He snatches lives away by seizing them.

    A hound who receives signals from his handler.

  2. يَمونُ أهلَ البيتِ باكتسابِهْ

    أهبَبْتُه فانصاعَ في إهبابِهِ

    He provides for the household with his gains.

    I spurred him on, and he darted off at my urging.

  3. كأنَّه الكوكبُ في انصبابِهْ

    أو قبسٌ يُلقَطُ من شِهابِهْ

    As though he were a star plunging down,

    Or a flame plucked from its blaze.
