1. Is it a system ordained or wine
That came to me with a refreshing chill yet burns within?

2. Horizons’ flowers or a garden’s blooms,
Are these necklaces pearls or sorcery?

3. You folded the news of longing when you unfurled it -
How excellent the folding and unfolding!

4. O what a beautiful bride of eloquence -
Her lovely words make hearts her dowry.

5. A doe who disdains the stars as necklaces
And scorns the sun’s beads upon her ear.

6. She rivals the gentle breeze, the meadow’s fragrance,
And works upon minds what wine works.

7. A glorious youth endowed it with profound meanings
And adorned it, pride of all eras.

8. Delicate is the prose and unique the one
Whose days became the century's bride.

9. He mastered rhetoric's art and grew bold
To forbid and command in difficult themes.

10. How many metres bear witness
That he is Al-Khalil and the sea testifies he's the sea.
