1. I have been told you found me lacking in praise,
Yet with little, you were content.
١. نُبِّئتُكَ استَقصَرتَني مادِحاً
فجُدتَ بالمُستقصَرِ النَّزرِ
2. Consider the shortcoming that lies between us -
Does it stem from your generosity, or my poetry?
٢. فاعتَبر التقصيرَ ما بَيننا
هل هُو في جُودِكَ أو شِعري
