1. The composer of poetry is not like a young man
Who leads, so listen to the words of chance
١. ما ناظمُ الشعر في محل فتىً
يقودُ فاسمع مقالة الظرفا
2. This one composed its letters and gave it character
That one gave it ambition, so the letters came together
٢. ألف هذا حروفه وسمت
همة هذا فألفا الحرفا
