   • a. 846, Ibn al-ʾAʿrābī, unnamed title‎^[1], archived from the original on 16 June 2021:

     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
