1. O Amro, my liver has become inflamed
So dye it white with the yellow of grapes

2. That scoundrel Ahmad with the curly hair
The tall one with the two cheeks like flames

3. I have an affliction that you know
The mercy of the calligrapher in books

4. And as for what completes the concealment
In meter, the pinnacle of eloquence

5. Before him the fourth, resembling in walking
Qabus, king of the Arabs

6. So may God blind every onlooker
And give us a path to the heavens as cause
