لو كان لي من مال قومي كما
لي من مديحٍ بينَهم يَخلُدُ
If I had as much of my people's wealth
As I have of praise that endures among them,
قضيت دَين القطر مستخلصاً
أبوابه من دائن يرصد
I would pay off the country's debt, freeing
Its gates from a creditor lying in wait.
مالي سوى ما أحسنتْ أجرة
يا كنز أحسنتَ متى تنفد
I have no payment but “How well you have done!”
O treasure of “Well done!”, when will you run out?
Sol 6.1
