      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
