أضحى يصولُ على الفصاحِ بلثغةٍ
منهوكةٍ مهتوكةٍ تُسْتَعْظَمُ
He now assails the eloquent with a lisp—
worn thin and disgraced, yet treated as something grand.
عجباً لهمْ كيفَ ارتضَوْهُ لمثلنا
حَكَماً أما سمعوهُ إذ يتكلَّمْ
How strange of them! How could they accept him over men like us
as judge? Have they not heard him when he speaks?
