كلامُ الأميرِ النَّدبِ في ثِنْيِ نَظمِهِ

ينوبُ عنِ الماءِ الزُلال لِمَنْ يَظْما

The words of the prince lament in the curve of his poem

Replacing cool water for the thirsty one

فنروي إذا نَروي بدائعَ نَظمِهِ

ونَظْما إذا لم نَروِ يَوماً لهُ نَظْما

So we quench our thirst when we recite the masterpieces of his poem

And poetry when we do not recite his poetry one day
