1. وَلَمْ يُرَ في مَجلِسٍ شَاعِرانِ

    ولا ثَالِثاً ضَمَّهُمْ مَوْضِعُ

    Two poets did not meet in an assembly,

    Nor a third join them in that place,

  2. كَأَنَّا مَصَادرُ عِندَ الوَرَى

    فَليسَ تُثنَّى ولا تُجمَعُ

    As if we are sources for mankind,

    That cannot be dualized or pluralized.
