تعجب قومي من بديع تغزُّلي

وقالوا لقد زفت إليك البدائع

My people are amazed at my exquisite love poems

And said, “Inspiration has certainly come to you!”

وما بفتى يستخرج الدرَّ بدعة

وفي نسخ الوجه الجميل يطالع

For no young man extracts gems through innovation

By depicting the beautiful face in his verses
