Sol 6.1

  1. ما هيج البسفور مثلك شاعرا

    بين الطبيعة فيه والتاريخ

    The Bosphorus has stirred no poet as it has you,

    amid its nature and its history.

  2. فجعلت شعرك فيهما ولطالما

    قد كنت عبد المدح والتاريخ

    So you devoted your poetry to both, though for so long

    you had been a slave to praise and history.
