إنَّ رِضَى كُلِّ الوَرَى لا مِرا
فيما أَرَاهُ غايَةٌ لا تُنالْ
Surely, winning all humanity’s approval—beyond dispute—
is, in my view, a goal that cannot be attained.
ماذا مَجازُ يُرْتَجى نَيْلُهُ
هَذَا إذا حَقَّقْتَ عَيْنُ الْمُحالْ
What way toward it could one hope to reach?
This, when examined closely, is impossibility itself.
