Sol 6.1

  1. مَدحي خَسيس الأَصل لي مثلةٌ

    في الناس عدَّت مِن فُصول الفُضول

    My praising one of base lineage is a disgrace to me,

    Counted among people as a form of idle meddling.

  2. كَخاضب الشَيب لتزيينه

    يَسوّد الفرع وَتَأبى الأُصول

    Like one who dyes gray hair to adorn it:

    He blackens the branch, but the roots refuse.
