Sol 5.6

  1. These gardens have borne fruit:

    wit, like fresh ripe dates;

  2. or maxims fashioned

    in a mold of play.

  3. He all but dances, whoever

    hears them, out of sheer delight.

  4. Or are these fruits of the mind of one

    who mastered the arts of letters?

  5. By him I mean Maroun, who

    composed them masterfully in Arabic.

  6. Thanks to him, from a man of worth

    who has attained every aspiration.

  7. It is only right that their inscriber

    inscribe them in liquid gold.
