Your mention in poetry is like the toothpick, the date, and the raisin

وذكرك في الشعر مثل السناد

1. Your mention in poetry is like the toothpick, the date, and the raisin
Or like bolstering poetry, empowering it

١. وذِكرُكَ في الشعرِ مثلُ السنا
دِ والخرمِ والخزم أو كالمحالِ

2. Without mentioning vulgarity
There is no fault in poetry with a fault of its own

٢. وإيطاءِ شعرٍ وإكفائهِ
وإقوائهِ دون ذِكرِ الرُّذالِ

3. As if it is afflicted by vulgar men
Invective is made available to the satirist

٣. وما عِيبَ شعرٌ بعيبٍ له
كأن يُبتَلى برجال السّفالِ

4. An intractable disease for an intractable disease

٤. يُتاحُ الهجاءُ لهاجي الهِجا
ء داءٌ عُضال لداءٍ عُضالِ
