يا قَوْمُ الحَذَرَ الحَذَرَ، وَالبِدارَ البِدارَ، مِنْ الدُّنْيا وَمَكايدِهَا، وَمَا نَصَبَتْ لكُمْ من مَصايِدِها، وَتَجَلَّتْ لَكُمْ مِنْ زِينَتِها، واسْتَشْرَفَتْ لَكُمْ مِنْ بَهْجَتِهَا.

And صاد المَكَانَ, and ↓ اصطادهُ, i. q. صاد فِيهِ [He took &c., or sought to take &c., game, or wild animals, or the like, in the place]: Sb mentions, as a phrase of the Arabs, صِدْنَا قَنَوَيْنِ meaning صِدْنَا وَحْشَ قَنَوَيْنِ: قَنَوَانِ being the name of a certain land [or of two mountains].
