1. I have begun to spread my poetry with every hand
That which I was folding of the brocade of beauty
١. أَصبَحتُ أَنشُرُ مِن شِعري بِكُلِّ يَدٍ
ما كُنتُ أَطويهِ مِن ديباجَةِ الحُسنِ
2. Its freshness for the fresh friend to wear
And whatever was beautified of it was for the beautiful
٢. فَرَطبُهُ لِلصَديقِ الرَطبِ يَلبِسُهُ
وَما تَحَسَّنَ مِنهُ كانَ لِلحُسنِ
