فَهَذا بَديهٌ لا كَتَحبيرِ قائِلٍ

فَهَذا بَديهٌ لا كَتَحبيرِ قائِلٍ

إِذا ما أَرادَ القَولَ زَوَّرَهُ شَهرا

إِذا ما أَرادَ القَولَ زَوَّرَهُ شَهرا

So this is spontaneous verse, not like a poet’s polished composition,

So this is obvious, no need for a speaker's preparation,

who, when he wishes to compose, spends a month crafting it.

When he wants to say it, he can make it up for a month.
