1. أقولُ الشعرَ في حكم

    نتاجاً للتجاريبِ

    I compose poetry in maxims,

    As the fruit of experience,

  2. ليأخذها محبوها

    بياناً للأعاجيب

    So that those who love them may receive them

    As an explanation of marvels.

  3. فشخص للهوى يمضي

    وشخصٌ للمحاريب

    So one person goes toward passion,

    And another toward the prayer niches.
