The pen has become feverish in the region

قلم به الاقليم أصبح في حمى

1. The pen has become feverish in the region
With its youth dispensing events as they are dispensed

١. قلم به الاقليم أَصبح في حمى
بشباته صرف الحوادث يُصرَف

2. And if its supply has been shortened, yet for it
The long nights remain sleepless

٢. ولئن تقاصرَ قدّه فلقدِّه
ظلّت له الأسل الطِّوال تقصَّف

3. Will the sensitive ones sing its song?
And will their tinkling be too weak for its rustling?

٣. هل تغنينَّ المرهفات غناءه
وصليلها لصريره يستضعف

4. It has related tales of wolf and doe that if not for it
A blade would be idle and a pen blunt

٤. حَكَت الظُّبا والسمر فعلا منه لو
لاه لعطِّلَ صَارمٌ ومُثَقّف

5. Its stab is layers upon
Layers as letters formed of dots

٥. طعن كمثلِ النقط منضافٌ إِلى
ضَربٍ كما شُكِلَت بنقط أَحرف

6. Each lost as to the likeness held
So look to the narrative, it is most noble

٦. كلٌ يتيهُ بأن حوى شبهاً له
فانظر إِلى المحكي فهو الأشرف

7. It suffices as pride that every fate
Flows by what it has inscribed and dispensed

٧. يكفيه فخراً أنّ كلَّ مقدَّرٍ
يجري بما قد خطّه ويصرِّف
