1. تَرِعاً يُرَعرِعُهُ الغُلامُ كَأَنَّهُ

    صَدَعٌ يُنازِع هِزَّةً وَمراحا

    The lad shakes it, full to the brim, as though it were

    a young ibex, struggling with a tremor and playful exuberance.

  2. وَإِذا تَكَلَّفتُ المَديحَ لِغَيرِهِ

    عالَجتُها طُلباً هُناك نِزاحا

    And when I forced myself to praise someone other than him,

    I labored over them there—hard to reach and drained dry.
