وَخَلٍّ لَهُ تاجٌ مِنَ الذِكرِ لَم تَزَل

مُرَصَّعَةً أَركانُهُ بِالمَحامِدِ

A palm tree with a crown of mention that did not cease

Its pillars embellished with praises

أَديبٌ إِذا اِنهَلَّت مَعانيهِ أَو رَقَّت

غُصونُ القَوافي رِياضُ القَصائِدِ

A literary man, when his meanings pour forth or

The branches of rhyme bloom, the gardens of poems

يُعَنوِنُ بِالإِنصافِ كُتبَ إِخائِهِ

وَيَختِمُ بِالإِنجازِ طينَ المَواعِدِ

He titles the books of his brother with fairness

And seals with fulfillment the clay of promises
