similar to this is that i remember that i was in a gathering in which there were our brothers with some of the wealthy people of our country and i saw between some of those present and those who were also present from the people of the host of the gathering something that i disapproved of and a hint that i found disgusting and the seclusion of time after time and the host of the gathering was like someone absent or asleep so i alerted him by making up for it but he did not notice and i moved him by making it clear but he did not move so i kept repeating to him two old couplets in the hope that he might notice and they are these two .
ومما يشبه هذا أني أذكر أني كنت في مجلس فيه إخوان لنا عند بعض مياسير أهل بلدنا، فرأيت بين بعض من حضر وبين من كان بالحضرة أيضا من أهل صاحب المجلس أمرا أنكرته وغمزا استبشعته، وخلوات الحين بعد الحين، وصاحب المجلس كالغائب أو النائم، فنبهته بالتعويض فلم ينتبه، وحركته بالتصريح فلم يتحرك، فجعلت أكرر عليه بيتين قديمين لعله يفطن، وهما هذان .
