1. أيّها المصقعُ المهذّبُ طبعاً

    وَفَتىً يسحرُ العقولَ بيانُه

    O eloquent orator, refined by nature,

    And youth whose eloquence enchants minds,

  2. وَالفَصيحُ الّذي إِذا قالَ شِعراً

    خِلتهُ ينظمُ النّجومَ لِسانُه

    And eloquent speaker who, when he speaks in verse,

    You would think his tongue was stringing the stars.
