وإذا سخطتُ على القوافي صغتُها

وإذا سخطتُ على القوافي صغتُها

في غيرهِ لأُذلَّها وأُهينها

في غيرهِ لأُذلَّها وأُهينها

And when I am displeased with the rhymes, I fashion them

When I'm upset at meter, to another place I'll lead it,

about someone other than him, to abase them and humiliate them.

So I can humble it, belittle it and impede it,

وإذا رضيتُ نظمتُها لجلاله

وإذا رضيتُ نظمتُها لجلاله

كيما أشرفَها به وأزينهَا

كيما أشرفَها به وأزينهَا

And when I am pleased, I compose them for his majesty,

But when content, for its greatness I will it thread,

so that I may ennoble them through him and adorn them.

To elevate and beautify it, and adorn instead.
