The lounging beggars tell the tale
OF Hafz Khan, called Fortunate,
Who dwelt afar, in Bosra's vale.
This Hafz Khan was not king;
He had no heaps Of treasured gold,
Nor yet did swaying camels bring
For him rare silks Of price untold.
He had no friend, he had no foe;
He never left his city's gate;
He never loved.7 It's said. and so
They called him Khan the Fortunate.
