1. The words of the prince lament in the curve of his poem
Replacing cool water for the thirsty one
١. كلامُ الأميرِ النَّدبِ في ثِنْيِ نَظمِهِ
ينوبُ عنِ الماءِ الزُلال لِمَنْ يَظْما
2. So we quench our thirst when we recite the masterpieces of his poem
And poetry when we do not recite his poetry one day
٢. فنروي إذا نَروي بدائعَ نَظمِهِ
ونَظْما إذا لم نَروِ يَوماً لهُ نَظْما
