And among those working on the boats today is Saeed, so he went out, and Ozeid, with malice, followed and buried them. Some of the popular riverine literature was associated with Al-Mawassili Bilal, who used to compose eloquent poetry that depicted people's lives and described their daily reality. He would compose his poetry about everything around him. If an incident occurred, he would compose a poem about it. If someone was taken or did something unacceptable, that person would receive a rebuke, and this mistake would be spread among the people through his poetic works. Most of his poetry is based on this aspect. People would applaud him so that their trivial, non-serious visual perceptions would not escape them. He might even give some of them a nickname that remained attached to them until the time of their grandchildren. It is possible that the boat was freed from its mooring and he started searching for it, until he found it as it was crossing the Nile, heading towards the shore. He heard poetry from it, like a story with its imaginary dialogue between him and the boat. He emerged, and a saying was recited about him, which said: Among what was in it was his saying: "O Ram, bring, your loan is gone. Your master spoke, and did not agree. Your master searched, and did not find. *** What is it, you are looking down on my respect? You left the place, you did not walk, you transgressed, and you threw. *** The boat said: O servant, you are my Qibla, beloved. You are not one for laughter, gossip, and sleep. You do not think to bring me a pile of ropes. *** Carrying my burden, and you say the boat is straying. Do not pull my strength, and tie me to the cold kantigi." - 81 -And some of them work with a pump.
