1. Poetry began to show on his face, so it took revenge
On his lovers when he was unjust to them

2. And God did not let the beard grow
On the impudent one except as bounties decline

3. The eye has become wild in his face
And it rightly wild in oppression

4. And nothing showed on his face like soot
Except its lower part like burning embers

5. When the surplus of his paper turns black
What then is his opinion of the pathways of the pen
