ودونَكَ فاسْتَغْرِبْ على الماءِ موْقِفي

كَما وقَفَ ابْنُ الماءِ وسْطَ غَديرِ

Without you, be amazed at my stance on the water

As the son of water stood midst the pool

على نِصْبَةِ الأفْراحِ أحْكَمَ بِنْيَتي

حَكيمٌ بِما يأتيهِ جِدُّ بَصيرِ

On the pedestal of joys, my structure grew firm

A sage, with what comes to him, serious and insightful

فإنْ كنْتَ عنْ كاسٍ وراحٍ وشادِنٍ

سَؤولاً فلا يُنْبيكَ مثْلُ خَبيرِ

If you asked about a cup, rest, and lively companion

You needn't heed one like an expert advisor
