Though yearning has crippled him whenever he repeats your name

2. Zakur's son was captivated by your jewelry's glow
So he recited it with joy and praise
٢. شَاقَ ابْنَ زَاكُورٍ حِلْيُ حِلْيَتِكُمْ

3. Firm in his belief though eloquence had reached
Its heights, he could not confine it

فِيهِ الْبَلاَغَةُ لاَ يُحَدِّدُهَا
