دار ما دار بيننا وتردَّد

والهوى من حديثه يتردَّد

Our house is a house between us that is frequented

And love in its conversation wavers

وافترقنا ولم أنم وأنا أذ

كرُ بعد السهاد ما يتجدَّد

We parted and I did not sleep while I was remembering

What is renewed after the night companions

فانتظِرني أقل وأنتَ مع النا

سِ تراني كما أقولُ وتشهَد

So wait for me, it is little while you are with the people you will see me as I say and you witness

I ignite disputes, I love the softest side, I writhe, I sing, I rave, I advance

وألدِّ الخصام أحوى أحم الط

طَرفِ ألوى أغنَّ أهيف أغيَد

He passed me loathing from hunting except

That in his loathing he hunts

مر بي نافراً من الصيدِ إلا

أنَّه في نفورِه يَتصيَّد

By my father you are how you became from intimacy loathing while you were born among us

The company of love helped with the trade

بأبي أنت كيف صرت من الوح

شِ نفاراً وأنت فينا مُولَّد

So it was easy for the young man what he got accustomed to

So give me a drink like what his two eyes gave me

نفعت صحبةُ الهوى بالتجاري

بِ فسهلٌ على الفتى ما تعوَّد

From the sheikh it is derived purely

A daughter of fire I took from him by transmitting

فاسقِني مثل ما سقاني بعَينَي

هِ حَنيفيَّةً عن الشيخِ تُسنَد

And I collared her sheikh what he collared

And by this I supported her when

بنت نارٍ أخذتها عنه بالنق

لِ وقلَّدتُ شيخها ما تقلَّد

Al-Mubarak bin Muhammad looked at her

I said by opinion and inference but

وبهذا نصرتها حين ناظر

تُ عليها المبارك بنَ محمَّد

The opinion of the judge Al-Sarouji Ahmed was

And it is from what I reckoned

قلت بالرأي والقياسِ ولكن

كان رأيُ القاضي السروجيِّ أحمَد

From his hands and counted them and how they are counted

Long he was generous to me and he thought

وهو مما احتَسَبتُه من أيا

ديهِ وعدَّدتها وكيفَ تُعدَّد

That generosity wears out over time so he renewed

With an oath that lasted and how many days

طالما جاد لي وظنَّ بأن ال

جودَ يَبلى مع الزمانِ فجدَّد

Strike me with it and how much he is patient

He did good to me so I spoke good

بيمينٍ طالت وكم يضربُ ال

أيامَ عني بها وكم يتجلَّد

So we resembled and it was said he was generous and he obliged

And if each builder of the extended

أحسنَ الفعل بي فأحسنتُ قَولاً

فاشتبَهنا فقيل جاد وجَوَّد

Pride over the people with the short enumeration

He remains building and does not limit the height

وإذا اعتدَّ كل بانٍ من المج

دِ على الناسِ بالقَصيرِ المعدَّد

And width and each verse is delimited

If I have said I have said what corrupts the people's

ظلَّ يبني ولا يحدّ ارتفاعاً

واتساعاً وكل بيتٍ يحدَّد

Sayings when it is recited

I explain the loss and the evidence is little

إن أنا قلتُ قلتُ ما يفسِد النا

سَ أقاويلَهم إذا كان ينشَد

In my path and sometimes it is not found

أبسطُ التيه والدليلُ قليلٌ

في طريقي وربَّما ليسَ يُوجَد
