قُل لِمَن جَمعَ العِل

مَ وَما أَحصى صَوابَهْ

Say to the one who gathered knowledge,

And counted all that was right,

كانَ في الصرّةِ شعرٌ

فَتَنَظَّرنا جَوابهْ

There was in the bag some poetry,

So we awaited his response,

قَد أَثَبناكَ فَهَلّا

جلبَ الشِعرَ ثَوابهْ

We have proven you, so why not

Bring the poetry its reward
