إحسانُ شِعري فيكمو مُخبرٌ
أنكموthat you حسّنتُمُyou improved حالياmy lot
أنكمو حسّنتُمُ حاليا
The excellence of my verse in your praise reveals
My poetry's goodness is a talebearer
That you have improved my lot.
That you have bettered my state
فالأفْقُfor the sky ماnot انهلّتْpoured down شآبيبُهits showers
فالأفْقُ ما انهلّتْ شآبيبُه
إلاexcept انْثَنىbecame الروضُthe garden بهthrough it حالياadorned
إلا انْثَنى الروضُ به حاليا
For the sky’s showers never pour down
The horizon whose showers have not descended
Without the garden becoming adorned thereby.
Except the meadow bent over it presently
