1. God watered a living that passed and vanished
With no return I enjoyed it and moved it
١. سقى اللهُ عيشاً مضى وانْقَضى
بلا رجعةٍ أرْتَضيها ونُقْله
2. Like the face of a loved one and the heart of a literary man
And the poetry of al-Walid and the script of Ibn Muqlah
٢. كوجهِ الحبيبِ وقلبِ الأديب
وشعرِ الوليد وخطِّ ابن مقله
