مَا أَخُو خَمْسَةٍ جَلَتْهُ لِعَاقِلْ

مِثْلَ أَجْزَائِهِ أَسَامٍ لِفَاعِلْ

What brother of five remained, for reasonable

What is the possessor of five [letters], revealed to a wise mind,

Like his parts, names for doer

Whose parts are like the nouns of the active participle?

وَهْيَ زَاكٍ يَلِيهِ زَاوٍ فَرَاوٍ

ثُمَّ وَارٍ فَزَارٍ أَتْبِعْ وَعَادِلْ

It zak remaining then zaw so raw

They are 'Zākin' (growing), followed by 'Zāwin' (concealing), then 'Rāwin' (narrating),

Then war so zar, follow and make equal

Then 'Wārin' (kindling), then 'Zārin' (visiting)—follow this and balance them.

وَارْعَ ذَا الْقَلْبَ وَالْمُحَرَّفَ مِنْهَا

وَاقْفُ مَنْ قَالَ فَالْمُفَسِّرُ قَائِلْ

Consider the heart and its deviant from them

And observe the anagrams and the altered letters among them,

Stop who said so the explainer will say

And trace the steps of the one who spoke, for the interpreter is the speaker.
