1. أَقولُ وَأَبصَرتُ ابنَ حَزم ابن فَرتَنى

    وُقوفاً لَهُ بِالمَأزِمَينِ القَبائِلُ

    I say, having seen Ibn Ḥazm, son of Fartanā,

    with the tribes standing before him at the two passes:

  2. تُرى فَرتَنى كانَت بِما بَلَغَ ابنُها

    مُصَدِّقَةً لَو قالَ ذَلِكَ قائِلُ

    I wonder—would Fartanā have found what her son had attained

    believable, had anyone told her so?
