بقريضfrom the verse of ابنson of (Ibn) حسينيHusayni
بقريض ابن حسيني
Do not say, 'My poetry detracts
Do not say my poetry is futile
from Ibn Husayni's verse.'
Like the rhymes of Ibn Hussaini
ذاكthat one بحرan ocean ولعمريand by my life
ذاك بحر ولعمري
أنتyou دونless than القلتينthe two large jarfuls
أنت دون القلتين
That man is an ocean, and by my life,
He is an ocean, by my life
you amount to less than two large jarfuls.
While you are less than a drop
Sol 6.1
