الأَديبُ القطّانُ صِنْوُ كمالٍ

مفرَدُ الدَّهرِ في الصّفاتِ الحِسانِ

The writer Al-Qattan is the epitome of perfection

Unique in his era with his virtues and talents

لَو يَكونُ الكَمالُ قطناً لكنّا

قَد لَبِسناهُ مِن يَدِ القطّانِ

If perfection could be spun into threads

We would have worn it, spun by Al-Qattan's hands
