للنَّاس فيما يَطلبونَ وَسائلٌ
شتَّى فُمكْدٍ مِنهُمُ أو مُنجِحُ
People have means for attaining what they seek—
diverse indeed: among them, some fail while others succeed.
ووَسائلي أدَبي وأنتَ بنَانُهُ
فبِأَىِّ زَنْدٍ بعدَكُمْ أَستَقِدحُ
My means are my literary art, and you are its fingertips;
so from what fire-stick, after you, shall I strike a spark?
