1. Say to the one who gathered knowledge,
And counted all that was right,
١. قُل لِمَن جَمعَ العِل
مَ وَما أَحصى صَوابَهْ
2. There was in the bag some poetry,
So we awaited his response,
٢. كانَ في الصرّةِ شعرٌ
فَتَنَظَّرنا جَوابهْ
3. We have proven you, so why not
Bring the poetry its reward
٣. قَد أَثَبناكَ فَهَلّا
جلبَ الشِعرَ ثَوابهْ
