1. قد ساق بحر الشعر نحويَ موجهُ

    فعجزت   عن   زخّاره  المتدفق

    Its wave has swept the sea of poetry toward me,

    So I was powerless against its surging torrent.

  2. حسبي  بهذا  الشعر  رزقاً وافراً

    ان  كنت  شيئا  غيرَه  لم  أُرزق

    This poetry suffices me as plentiful sustenance,

    Even if I have been granted nothing besides it.
