1. You have good tidings, so take what you desire,
And forgive my outspokenness, however it flows.
١. لَكَ الْبُشْرَى وَخُذْ مَا تَبْتَغِيهِ
وَسَامِحْ مَنْطِقِي فِيمَا يَبُثُّ
2. Even if time has shown you injustice,
That injustice is relief for the free.
٢. وَإِنْ كَانَ الزَّمَانُ أَرَاكَ ظُلْماً
فَذَاكَ الظُّلْمُ لِلأَحْرَارِ مَغْثُ
3. Make the river of eloquence flow smoothly,
For its surge has clothed your agony.
٣. وَرِدْ نَهْرَ الْبَلَاغَةِ سَلْسَبِيلاً
فَقَدْ لَبَّى غَلِيلَكَ مِنْهُ نَفْثُ
