1. An excellent poet in virtues of glory assuredly
We were not guided to take and emulate him
١. مُبْدعٌ في شمائلِ المَجدِ حَتْماً
ما اهتَدَيْنا لأخْذِه واقتِباسِه
2. Yet he is vulgar in wealth when you see him
And generous in pardon at the hour of his heroism
٢. فهوَ فَظٌ بالمال حينَ تَراهُ
وجَوادٌ بالعَفْوِ في وَقتِ باسِهْ
