بَحيرُ بنُ رَيسانَ الَّذي سَكَنَ الجَند
يَقولُ لَهُ الناسُ الجَوادَ وَمَن وَلَد
Baḥīr ibn Raysān, who made his home in al-Jund—
people call him the Generous, and all his offspring too.
لَهُ نَفَحاتٌ حينَ يُذكَرُ فَضلُهُ
كَسَيلِ رَبيعِ في ضَحاضِحَةِ السَنَد
Gusts of bounty come from him whenever his excellence is recalled,
like a spring torrent through the shallows of the uplands.
