أَمّا اِبنُ طَوقٍ فَقَد أَوفى بِذِمَّتِهِ

كَما وَفى بِقِلاصِ النَجمِ حاديها

Ibn Tuwaq has fulfilled his duty

As the guide of a star fulfills guiding it

قَد حَلَّ رابِيَةً لَم يَعلُها أَحَدٌ

صَعباً مُباءَتُها صَعباً مَراقيها

He has solved a problem that no one else could

It was hard to face, hard to overcome
