1. وَقائِلٍ إِنَّ في الأَسفارِ فائِدَةً

    يوسِعنَ في الرِزقِ ذا مالٍ وَذا خُلقِ

    And someone says, “There is indeed benefit in journeys:

    They increase the livelihood of the wealthy and those of character.”

  2. وَقَد مَضَيتُ إِلى أَقصى الَّذي ذَكَروا

    وَجِئتُ أَرعَنَ وَالشَلّاقُ في عُنُقي

    And I have gone to the farthest point they mentioned,

    And returned a fool, with the whip around my neck.
