أَعدَدتُ للدَّهرِ وأَحداثِه

أَخاً أراهُ في العُلا فَذّا

I brought a brother for time and its events

I see him in glory, so very clever

إن شَذَّ مَعنىً من تَصارِيفهِ

دفعتُ ما شذَّ بما شَذَّا

If an idea strays from its patterns

I repel what strays with one just as stray

لا خلفَ في ميعادِه إن يَعِد

رأَيتَهُ من صِدقِه أَخذا

No failing his promise if he swears

You’d see him, so true to his word, keeping it
