Mustafa has a high rank in sincere poetry

لمصطفى صادق في الشعر منزلة

1. Mustafa has a high rank in sincere poetry
Though now opposed by those who rival him

١. لِمُصْطَفَى صَادِقٍ فِي الشِّعْرِ مَنْزِلَةٌ
أَمْسَى يُعَادِيهِ فِيهَا مَنْ يُصَافِيهِ

2. He crafted verse with great skill - if recited
The excellence of his rhymes would be evident

٢. صَاغَ الْقَرِيضَ بِإِتْقَانٍ فَلَوْ تُلِيَتْ
صُدُورُهُ عُلِمَتْ مِنْهَا قَوَافِيهِ

3. Refined in nature, of trusted conscience - when
Tested, his inner self matches what's seen

٣. مُهَذَّبُ الطَّبْعِ مَأْمُونُ الضَّمِيرِ إِذَا
بَلَوْتَهُ كَانَ بَادِيهِ كَخَافِيهِ

4. Having attained perfection, he needs no praise
You can only describe him by what he contains

٤. حَازَ الْكَمَالَ فَلَمْ يَحْتَجْ لِمَنْقَبَةٍ
فَلَسْتَ تَنْعَتُهُ إِلَّا بِمَا فِيهِ
