Claude 2

  1. أفدِي غزالاً من الأتراك مقلتهُ

    في صنعة السحرِ أعيت كلّ أستاذ

    I ransom a gazelle from the Turks, whose glance

    Has exhausted every master in the art of magic

  2. نبَّاذ عهدٍ بذاك اللحظ يسحرني

    يا حسرتي بين سحَّارٍ ونبَّاذ

    A covenant was made in that moment to enchant me

    Oh my sorrow, between a magician and an enchanter

  3. كأنَّ ألفاظَ فخر الدِّين منه حوَتْ

    مدامَ ساقٍ عليها سحر نفَّاذ

    It's as if the words of Fakhr al-Din have enveloped

    A straight leg on which penetrating magic was cast

  4. ذو النظم والنثرِ كم قالت حلاوة ذا

    وذا لعمرك ماذي حلاوة الماذي

    The one with prose and verse, how much sweetness he said

    And that, by your life, what is the sweetness of the refuge

  5. والفضل في الناسِ كم لذَّت له شيمٌ

    وكم عطفت على لهفان لوَّاذ

    And the merit among people, how much did a disposition please him

    And how much did it show sympathy to an ardent lover

  6. يا كاتباً خلت أقلاماً بمهرقه

    عقائلاً رقمت طرزاً على لاذ

    O writer, you have left pens in turmoil

    Composing spells embroidered on silk

  7. تهنّها نعمَ الوهاب قائلةً

    يا عيده اهْنأ بهذي واقْمع الهاذي

    Congratulate him, well done O granter

    O my delight with this and suppress the spiteful
