1. زعَمَ المقيمُ بكَوتكينَ بأنَّهُ

    من آلِ هاشمٍ بنِ عبدِ منافِ

    The man staying with Kawtakin claimed that he

    was of the family of Hashim, son of Abd Manaf.

  2. فأجبَتُهُ مُذ صرتَ من أبنائِهِم

    صارت قُيودُهُم منَ الصفصافِ

    So I answered him: “Since you became one of their sons,

    their fetters are now made of willow.”
