1. قُم أَدِر يا خليلُ شِعرَكَ فينا

    قَرقَفاً يَشرَبُ النهى وَعُقارا

    Rise, Khalil, and pass your poetry among us,

    As wine that drinks up reason, and as heady wine.

  2. أَنت مَطرانُ دين شِعرٍ جديدٍ

    فَتنَ المُسلِمينَ قَبلَ النَصارى

    You are the bishop of the faith of new poetry,

    Which enchanted Muslims before Christians.
