وَرَأَت طَبيعَتُكَ الكَريمَةُ نقضَ ما

عَوَّدتَها مِن شيمَةِ الإِسرافِ

Your generous nature saw the undoing of what

It was accustomed to from the trait of extravagance

فَكَأَنَّما أَنفَت لِذاكَ فَعَوَّضَت

عَن بَزلِ قيفالٍ بِبَزلِ رُعافِ

So it seemed as though it recoiled from that and compensated

For the linen of spun thread with the linen of pleating
