كرسي المتنبي (شرح ديوان المتنبي) - حلقة (١١٩) - أيمن العتوم

He said, consoling Abu Shuja', 'Adud al-Dawla, upon the death of his aunt: 1. The last thing the king is consoled with This is what has affected his heart 2. Not grief, but a pride that has tainted him That time should be able to seize him 3. If the world knew what he possesses The days would be ashamed to reproach him 4. Perhaps it thinks that he who Does not possess is not of his party 5. And that he who has Baghdad as his home Does not reside in He unsheathed his anger. 6. And that a man's true worth lies in his homeland. He who is not of it is not of his own flesh and blood. 7. I fear that his enemies will become aware, And flee in fear to his vicinity.
