لقد زعموا جهلا سُميّة شاعرا

فقلتُ كذبتم إذ نسبتم لهُ الشّعرا

They ignorantly claimed the poet was poisonous

So I said you lied when you attributed poetry to him

ألم تر أنّ الله قد خلق السّما

وأبعد فيها عن سميّتها الشعرى

Don't you see that God created the sky

And kept the stars far from its toxicity
