أرادوا ليلقوا فيَّ عيباً فلم يروا
فقالوا وما قالوا به لو وعوا فخر
They wished to find fault in me, but found none,
So said what they said, had they understood, their words were vain boasts,
فلا عيب فيه غير أن بشعره
جناساً بديعا والجناس هو الشعر
No fault can be found in him except that in his poetry
Is excellent paronomasia, and paronomasia is the essence of poetry.
