رأيتُI saw فيin المائقthe fool ماwhat لاnot يُرىis seen
رأيتُ في المائق ما لا يُرى
ورأيهand his opinion فيof نفسهhimself أَنْفَذُmore far-reaching
ورأيه في نفسه أَنْفَذُ
I saw in the fool what cannot be seen;
Yet his opinion of himself goes further still.
إذاwhenever تذكرتُI recall مديحيmy praise لهof him
إذا تذكرتُ مديحي له
حسبتهI imagine it منfrom كبديmy liver يُفلَذُis sliced off
حسبته من كبدي يُفلَذُ
Whenever I recall my praise of him,
I imagine it being sliced from my liver.
Sol 6.1
