27
Bring to him some wine, Hatu lo moyed inbeed

هاتوله ميية نبيد

'Tis a cure for the sick. Hatha shifa lal mareed

هذ شيفا الالمريض

His son Jacob also heard the news; Rah il khabar illa Yakub

راح الخبر الى يعقوب

Running, his heart terrified, Yajri wal ḳalb mar'ub

يجرى والقلب مرعوب

He said: Bring carob-juice, Kal hatulo moyet kharub

قال هاتوله مييه خروب

'Tis a cur for the sick. Hatha shifa lal 'ayan

هذا شيفا لا عيان

When Ba'hur had heard the news, Rah' il khabar 'la Ba'hur

راح الخبر الى بحور

With flowing tears she came: Tijri wa dummu' inhur

تجرى ودموع انهور

Perfect safety to you "generous chief," Kalat salamtak ya bahlul

قالة سلامتك يا بهلول

Father of honours and invitations. Ya abul karam wal def'an

يا ابو الكرم والضيفان

But when the Emmani (his Khalify) heard it, Rah' al khabar il' 'Ammawi

راح الخبر العماوي

He came yelling as a jackal: Aja yaseeh' seh' il wawi

اجا يصيح صيح الواوي

Bring Farrar, the physician, Hatulo Farrar il indawi

هاتوله فرار المداوي

With rags and pomegranate sticks Bishrita wa tabet ruman

بشريته وطابة رمان
