Sol 6.1

  1. يا مدعي الشعر زوراً

    وانت شر سفيهِ

    O you who falsely lay claim to poetry,

    and you are the worst of fools.

  2. الشعرُ فيك مصاب

    بصحبه وذويه

    Poetry is stricken in you,

    along with its companions and kin.

  3. لو عادك الشعر يوماً

    بقلبه أو بفيه

    If poetry ever visited you,

    with its heart or its mouth,

  4. لكنت أنفض منه

    يدي وأبكي بنيه

    then I would shake it from

    my hand and weep for its sons.
