1. He combined eloquence with conciseness, summarizing,
And came with it in beauty an extraordinary plea,

2. It flows between sweetness and softness,
Bringing together the wonderful with the wonderful and summarizing.

3. And it competes with me in conversation but rather
It competes with the generous outpouring of a lean palm tree.

4. Why not, and the playing ground of my horses are literature when
They soar high before they can be reined back.

5. The nature of youth inclines gently towards it
Leaning towards the sphere of its beauty and bias.

6. But it has seized the reins of my attention
So I set out to roam through the hands of realities.

7. My concern is to receive knowledge or impart it
Of what is hoped its benefits will be on Judgement Day.

8. And the high parts of literature that have not been fabricated
After the duplicity have almost recoiled.

9. And the dear verses in whose composition he placed
Some clear verses that have perplexed.

10. Or Wasil bin Ata was given his connection
He did not abandon its beauty and for it he withdrew.

11. And it has become for what he came with an example
Imitated by one who utters excellent speech or weak.

12. It has revived the spontaneity of the past, or rather revived
What passes of spontaneity, summarizing or prolonging.

13. I swear by what its sublime ambitions have inscribed
On its smooth cheek that cannot be erased.

14. No garden embroidered with sorrow its foliage
And ample full moons that have not arisen provoking.

15. The face of time has filled it with beauties
That eyes stop to gaze at as they pass by.

16. For the lament of its departing, the fascination of one bidding farewell
Who eulogizes it, eloquently or mumbling.

17. The breeze has pulled along its trailing hems
And it has given off perfume and bent pliant.

18. With the most perfect breath and sweetest melody
From it for one with hearing and a refined sphere.

19. Oh rouser of passions in my soul
With yearning for the one distinguished by its jewels.

20. With the life of my love in the course of its life
And the loyalty of a pact too solid to be shaken.

21. Speak and augment and relate its state to me
Do not summarize what deserves to be told in full.

22. Describe, for in its descriptions lies what can be gleaned
To crack it open, and through its expressions it cannot be restrained.

23. For Muhammad ibn Juzayy, a verse of Sudd
Who has remained lofty through it, distinguished.

24. A calling when glory is attained through effort
That does not stop striving to be honored.

25. The intellect of the Juzayy clan has become one morning
The shooting stars of enlightenment in every horizon and sphere.

26. And time through it has attained the balance of beauties
And now is the time for its promise to be fulfilled.

27. And to you from me the excuse of one lean
For I have soared to it smooth and lean.

28. I have avoided what you avoided therein courteously
So whom you have cast off, his rejection is justified to me.
