أَرَى في ابني مشابهَ من عليٍ

ومن يَحيى وذاكَ بهِ خَليقُ

In my son I see a resemblance to Ali,

And to Yahya—and that well becomes him.

فإن يشبههما خُلُقا وخَلقاً

فَقَد تسري إِلى الشَّبهِ العُروقِ

For if he resembles them both in character and form,

Then resemblance may indeed run in the veins.
