     أَعْدَدْت للجارِ وللرَّفِيقِ، – والضَّيْفِ والصاحِبِ والصَّدِيقِ
     ولِلْعِيالِ الدَّرْدقِ اللُّصُوقِ – حَمْراء مِنْ نَسْلِ أَبي مَرْزُوقِ
     تَمْسَحُ خَدَّ الحالِبِ الرَّفِيقِ، – بِلَبنِ المَسِّ قَلِيلِ الرِّيقِ
     كأن صوت شخبها الفـتـيق – فحيح ضبٍ حربٍ حـنـيق
     في جحرٍ ضاق أشد الضيق
