1. A youth whom Allah did not create
His hands except for morsels
١. فتىً لم يَخْلُقِ اللَّهُ
يديه لسوى اللَّقْمِ
2. So he is not content with praise
Nor upset by insults
٢. فما يرتاحُ للمدحِ
ولا يرتاعُ للشَّتمِ
3. His skin uncovered bones
Without fat or flesh
٣. فرتْ جِلْدتَه الألسُ
نُ عن شحمٍ وعن لحمِ
4. As if when we asked him
We asked a picture
٤. كأنَّا إذ سألْناهُ
وقفنا سائلي رسْمِ
