1. Whoever recites my words
Attains all kinds of knowledge
١. مَن تَمَلَّى بكَلامي
نالَ من كلِّ العُلومِ
2. And comes with every art
With the most sublime understandings
٢. وأَتى من كلِّ فَنٍّ
بأفانينِ الفُهومِ
3. My verses are composed
Like fixed stars
٣. رُقِمَتْ آياتُ نَظْمي
مُحْكَماتٍ كالنُّجومِ
4. The secret of my poetry is for the virtuous
Guided by the most refined taste
٤. سِرُّ نَظْمي للمَعالي
بأكُفِّ الذَّوقِ يُومِي
5. Not he who is obsessed with my poetry
Is to be blamed among my men
٥. ليسَ مَن هامَ بشِعْري
من رِجالي بمَلومِ
6. O fortunes of the soul, disappear!
O clouds of victory, stay!
٦. يا حُظوظُ النَّفْسِ زُولي
يا سَحابَ الفَتْحِ دُومي
