إنَّ الخليلَ إذا أراك مقاما

شاهدتَ منه اللوحَ والأقلاما

When you see Khalil in his place,

You see from him the tablet and the pens,

فترى المعارفَ بالكتابةِ تنجلي

لعيونِ أهلِ كشوفِه أعلاما

So you see knowledge being clarified through writing

For the eyes of the people of his revelations as signs,

ويكون ذاك الكشفُ من إعطائه

ما ينبغي أعلامه أعلاما

And that revelation from his giving,

Is what his signs should be as great signs,

ويزيدني علمي به من عنده

صدقاً لما قد قاله إعظاما

And my knowledge from him increases for me from him

Truly, respecting what he has said with greatness.
