1. Seeker of a distant goal
Attaining it from my will
١. وَطالِبٍ حاجَةً بَعيداً
مَنالُها مِنْ يَدي مُرامهْ
2. He pleaded for it
Before his words came to an end
٢. عَرَّضَ بالإِقْتِضاءِ فيها
وَما انْقَضى مُنْتَهى كلامِه
3. Like one who plants a date stone
To enjoy its fruit in time
٣. كَغارِسٍ في الثَّرى نَواةً
لِيَأْكُلَ التَّمْرَ في مُقامِهْ
