And carrying a beard when it appeared, it fell

وحامل لحية لما بدت وقعت

1. And carrying a beard when it appeared, it fell
Between two states of breaking and weakening

١. وحاملٍ لحيةَ لما بَدَتْ وقَعَتْ
ما بَيْنَ حالين من نقْضٍ وَتَقويض

2. I asked him how it lengthened and what was its breadth
He replied, as he replied, a saying without implication

٢. سألْتُهُ كيف طالتْ وما عرضت
فردَّ إِذ ردَّ قولاً غيرَ تعريض

3. The beard crop did not yield, it did not yield since
Birds in it called clippers fell

٣. ما جاد زَرْعَ اللحى لا جاد مذ وقَعَتْ
فيه طيورٌ تُسمَّى بالمقاريض
