1. يا ذكياً بحلمه أحنف القوم

    نُف بجزرٍ وأعلن سماءك في مَد

    O clever one, the Ahnaf of his people in forbearance,

    Rise with an ebb, and proclaim your sky in a swell.

  2. أيّ خلٍّ حمدت في ذا المعمّى

    وهو في الناس بالمكارم أحمد

    Which friend have I praised in this riddle?

    Among people, he is Ahmad—most praiseworthy for noble deeds.
