Claude 2

  1. ضاقت بلاغة أشعاري بما رحُبتْ

    عن كنه وصفك حتى رحت ذا لكن

    My eloquent poetry is constrained by what it can encompass

    In describing your essence, so I have come to ask

  2. فجئتُ أسألُ مَنْ نُعماه تغمرني

    رحيبَ حلمٍ على التقصير يشملُني

    He who has granted me abundant blessings

    The vastness of a dream's hospitality envelops my shortcoming

  3. يا محرز الفخر عن سعي وعن نسب

    وفاعل الخير في سِرٍّ وفي عَلَنِ

    O proud of merit beyond effort and lineage

    And doer of good in secret and openly

  4. ومُنشر الهامدَ العافي وقد كتمتْ

    عُلاهُ عاديةُ الأيامِ والزَّمنِ

    Who spreads wellbeing to the desolate and has concealed

    His loftiness as the days and time pass it by

  5. من دارمٍ حيث يربوعٌ واِن قربت

    معدودةٌ لتنافي الوصف في اليمنِ

    From Darim where there is prosperity though if you draw near

    Counted are those who match its description in Yemen

  6. باهى جَريرٌ بيربوعٍ وما ثبتتْ

    بالقول دعواهُ لولا شِرَّةُ اللَّسن

    Al-Jarir boasted of prosperity but his claim

    Was not established in words were it not for the vilification of tongues

  7. وأثبت الحق والدهماءُ شاهدةٌ

    قولُ الفرزدق عند البدو والمُدنِ

    And the truth and wise men bear witness

    To Al-Farazdaq's words among nomads and cities

  8. فأُيِّدتْ بالوزير الصدر حُجَّته

    اِذا مثلهُ في عصورِ الدهر لم يكن

    So his argument was supported by the minister

    When the like of him in the ages of time did not exist

  9. هل فيهم مَنْ ملوكُ الأرض لاثمةٌ

    بساطهُ من حديث القوم واليفَنِ

    Is there among them one whose kingdom the lands

    Kiss from the talk of people and splendor?

  10. أم فيهمُ من لواءُ الحمدِ رايتهُ

    ومجلسُ السلمِ للتشريع والسنن

    Or among them one whose banner of praise

    And council of peace for canon and tradition?

  11. هيْهاتَ فاز بها أبناءُ حنْظَلةٍ

    والمالِكانِ بلا خُسْرٍ ولا غَبَنِ

    Never! The sons of Hanzala have won them

    And the Al-Maliks without loss or despair

  12. بأبيض الوجه مجبولٍ على كَرمٍ

    يودُّ جدواه صوب العارض الهتنِ

    Of bright face created with generosity

    His nobility aims towards the lovely branch

  13. تُناطُ حبْوته في يوم ندوتهِ

    إِلى غواربِ بحر أو ذُرى حضن

    His love on the day of his gathering

    Is directed to the maidens of a sea or a bosom's embrace

  14. فلا عدا شرف الدين الثناءُ اذا

    طابَ النَّديُّ بذكر المحسن الحسن

    None but the honor of faith deserves praise when

    The companion is sweetened by mention of the benevolent beauty

  15. صدرٌ اذا سهرتْ عيني لمدحتهِ

    كان السُّهادُ لها أحلى من الوسنِ

    A chest, if my eyes keep vigil in praise of it

    Slumber for them is sweeter than gum resin.
