أَصبَحتُ أَنشُرُ مِن شِعري بِكُلِّ يَدٍ
ما كُنتُ أَطويهِ مِن ديباجَةِ الحُسنِ
I have begun to spread my poetry with every hand
That which I was folding of the brocade of beauty
فَرَطبُهُ لِلصَديقِ الرَطبِ يَلبِسُهُ
وَما تَحَسَّنَ مِنهُ كانَ لِلحُسنِ
Its freshness for the fresh friend to wear
And whatever was beautified of it was for the beautiful
