1. By my life, he has bestowed upon us
The fruits of his knowledge, the great benefactor
١. لعمري لقد أملى ثمار علومه
علينا وأهداها الكبير المصدّر
2. And his son, the deputy, used to bestow the like,
But this man's breast has given more and is greater
٢. وقد كانَ يملي مثلها ابن وكيلها
ولكنَّ هذا الصدر أملى وأكبر
