وَقالوا هَل رَأَيتَ أَبا دُؤاد

فَقُلتُ نَعَمْ رَأَيتُ أَبا الحُبابِ

They said, "Have you seen Abu Du'ad?"

I said, "Yes, I've seen the father of loves."

فَقالوا لا عَلَيكَ رَأَيتَ مِنهُ

كَأَشبَه بِالغُرابِ مِنَ الغُرابِ

They said, "No, you have seen in him

One who resembles the raven more than a raven."
