1. Be gentle with me, do not inquire of my state
For the noble does not exact what is due
١. تَرَفَّقْ بي ولا تَسْتَقْص أَمْري
فَلَمْ يَسْتَقْصِ واجِبَهُ كَريمُ
2. When the noble reaches the extent of his due
In asking, then the base cannot be blamed
٢. إِذا بَلَغَ الْكَريمُ إِلى مَداهُ
مُطالَبَةً فَلا يُلَمِ اللَّئيمُ
