تَرِعاً يُرَعرِعُهُ الغُلامُ كَأَنَّهُ
صَدَعٌ يُنازِع هِزَّةً وَمراحا
The lad shakes it, full to the brim, as though it were
a young ibex, struggling with a tremor and playful exuberance.
وَإِذا تَكَلَّفتُ المَديحَ لِغَيرِهِ
عالَجتُها طُلباً هُناك نِزاحا
And when I forced myself to praise someone other than him,
I labored over them there—hard to reach and drained dry.
