1. جَلا عَلَينا عَرائِسَ الشِيَمِ

    مُقَلَّداتِ النُحورِ بِالكَرَمِ

    He unveiled before us the brides of noble qualities,

    Their necks adorned with necklaces of generosity.

  2. فَتى إِذا السَمعُ زادَ مِنهُ فَما

    أَنساهُ بِالمَعجِزاتِ كُلَّ فَمِ

    A youth who, when the ear gains a mouth from him,

    Makes it forget every other mouth through marvels.

  3. إِذا سَقى الصَفوَ مِن فَوائِدِهِ

    سَقاهُ في مُحكَمٍ مِنَ الحِكَمِ

    When he pours the pure draught of his insights,

    He pours it in a finely wrought saying of wisdom.
