إمامٌ في الركوعِ حكى هلالاً
ولكنْ في اعتدالٍ كالقضيبِ
An imam, in bowing, resembled a crescent;
but standing upright, he was like a slender bough.
وقال تلوتُ قلتُ البدرَ حسناً
وقال ختمتُ قلتُ على القلوبِ
He said, “I recited.” I replied, “The full moon—in beauty.”
He said, “I finished.” I replied, “Upon the hearts.”
