Stop; let us weep for poetry’s verses, for they
Recite the verses of al-Qarid for they are
have fallen desolate—and how often they were guarded against discordant rhyme!
More precious though well guarded from the covetous

And indeed, even if you [wept] blood for them, it would be too little—
And they would certainly shed pure blood
pure blood, for their desolation, bereft of the generous.
To alleviate their desolation with generosity
