فإِن يَذكُرِ النُّعمانُ سَعيي وسَعيَهُم
يَكُن خُطَّةً يَكفي ويَسعَى بِعَمَّال
So if al-Nuʿmān remembers my striving and theirs,
it will be a plan that suffices, and he will strive through workers.
فَعُدتُ كَذا نُجح يُرَجَّي نُصُورَهُ
يَبينُ فلا يَبعُد كَذي الخَلَقِ الباَلي
So I returned thus; success, whose aid is hoped for,
becomes clear and is not far away, like one in a worn, threadbare garment.
Sol 6.1
