1. أَحيَيتَ ذِكراً طَيِّباً نَشرُهُ

    تَفصيلُهُ أَذكى مِنَ المُجمَلِ

    You have revived a remembrance whose fragrance is sweet;

    its detailed telling is more fragrant than the summary.

  2. وَأَنتَ فَرعٌ طَيِّبٌ أَصلُهُ

    لا بُدَّ لِلآخِرِ مِن أَوَّلِ

    And you are a branch whose root is good;

    the last must have a first.
