وَلَهُ حُسام باتر في كَفِهِ

يَمضي لِنَقض الأَمر أَو تَوكيده

And he has a sharp sword in his hand

To undo the order or confirm it

وَمُتَرجم عَما يَجن ضَميره

يَجري بِحكمته لَدى تَسويدهِ

And a translator of what his conscience reaps

He runs with his wisdom when setting it down

قلم يَدور بِكَفه فَكَأَنَّهُ

فلك يَدور بِنحسِهِ وَسُعوده

A pen turns in his hand as though

A sphere turns with his fortune and happiness
