ووصوت شادٍ حكى في سجع منطقهِ
ورق الحمائِم تغريداً وتصويتا
And a singer's voice imitated, in his rhymed speech,
the gray doves in warbling and calling.
إِذا تغنّى غدا في جنبِ نَغمتهِ
هاروتُ في حلباتِ السبقِ سكّيتا
Whenever he sang, beside his melody,
Harut became the last to finish in the racing arenas.
ما حاز درَّ معاني لفظهِ أذني
إلّا يساقط من عيني يواقيتا
My ear never gathered the pearls of his words' meanings
without his making rubies fall from my eye.
