تحتاج بهجته لرفدٍ بارع
Alas for a brilliant poem I composed:
My longing for skillful poetry composed
Its beauty needs a splendid gift.
Its splendor awaits equally skillful nourishment
دٌرٌّa pearl يتيمٌorphaned (peerless) قدalready تضوّعhas spread نشرهits fragrance
دٌرٌّ يتيمٌ قد تضوّع نشره
ياO منyou who يرقtakes pity علىon اليتيمthe orphan الضائعlost
يا من يرق على اليتيم الضائع
An orphan pearl whose fragrance has already spread—
A lonely poem whose publication languished
O you who take pity on the lost orphan!
O you who pity the lost orphan
Sol 6.1
