إذا شاخَ قوم شيَّبوا وابن بلبلٍ
تَشيبَن لما شاخَ بالتَّنحلِ
When some people grow old, they make others go gray; and Ibn Bulbul—
you would surely go gray when he grew old through his pretensions.
ولا جورَ إلا جورُهُ في اكتنائه
أبا الصقر أنَّى ذاك وهو ابنُ بلبلِ
There is no injustice like the injustice of his chosen byname:
Abu al-Saqr—how can that be when he is Ibn Bulbul?
Sol 6
