وَمَقَالٍ لَوْ مَدَدْتُمْ بَاعَها
لَتَناوَلْتُمْ بِها النّجْمَ جُلُوسا
And a discourse—if you stretched its reach,
you would grasp the star with it while seated;
وَأَيَادٍ أَطلَقَتْ فِينا النَّدى
بَعْدَ ما كانَ في الأَيدِي حَبيساً
and hands that set bounty free among us,
after it had been held captive in hands.
Sol 5.6
