The waw is pronounced "aqūfan" because every waw that is joined to something other than a root letter is hamzated. This is permissible. The word "asy" is in the accusative case, functioning as an adverb. The phrase "wa-ṭayhim bi-wuqūfi" is also in the accusative case.

"Wa-law sha'ālī 'ibratan li-safamhā, wa-la 'indaras dārisun min dāris."

The intended meaning of this verse, according to one interpretation, is that "ta'awwala" is a masdar (verbal noun) of "ta'awwala," meaning "I wept." So, "wa-la 'indaras dārisun min dāris" means "and no scholar's knowledge would be erased."

Another interpretation is that it is a masdar of "'awwala 'alayhi," meaning "I relied on it." If "ta'awwala" is understood as "weeping" and "'awwala" as "reliance," then the poet is saying, "If my tears are a cure for my grief, then is there any weeping that can be a substitute for my eyes?" This appears to be a rhetorical question directed at himself, meaning "I have been good to myself, so why am I afflicted?"

If he is addressing a companion, it is as if he is saying, "I have found solace in weeping, and reliance." The phrase "wa-la 'awwala" means "and no reliance." If "ta'awwala" is understood as "my reliance," then it is as if he is saying, "My solace is in weeping, and my reliance is on the cure for my grief, which is in the knowledge of Daris, who has no need for anything else." Therefore, I should turn to weeping and not rely on anything else.

"Ka-dābik min āl al-Muwayrith qalbā, wa-jāratumā āl al-Rabbāb āl-sa'l."

"Āl al-Muwayrith" refers to the tribe of al-Muwayrith, who used to mock us with their poetry. She is the sister of al-Ḥārith ibn Aṣamm ibn Ṣa'm. Her lineage has been previously mentioned.

The meaning of the verse is: "You are like the tribe of al-Muwayrith, who used to mock us with their poetry." This meaning is related to my cure, meaning "as if you are enough to cure me from the mother of al-Muwayrith." It has been said, "As if you are enough to cure me."

"Wa-qawluhu qalbā, ay qabla ghafwat al-rayḥ."

"Wa-law sha'ālī 'ibratan li-safamhā, wa-la 'indaras dārisun min dāris."

"And if my tears were enough to quench it, and no scholar's knowledge would be erased."
