لِلسبعَة النَّيِّرات عَن شَرفي
عَجزٌ وفي العالَمينِ تَبريحُ
For the seven radiant orbs to attain my eminence—
is beyond their power; and in both worlds there is anguish.
وَهَل أُداني في نَيْلِ مَكْرُمَةٍ
وَالبحرُ فَوقي وتَحتيَ الرّيحُ
How could I ever come near to winning distinction,
with the sea above me and the wind beneath me?
