1. أَهدى لَنا غُصُناً مِن ناضِرِ الآسِ

    أَقضى القُضاة حَليفُ الجودِ وَالباسِ

    He gave us a branch of fresh myrtle—

    the chief of judges, companion of generosity and valor.

  2. لَما رَأى سَقَمي أَهداهُ مَع رَشَأٍ

    حُلوِ التَجَنّي فَكانَ الشافِيَ الآسي

    When he saw my sickness, he sent it with a fawn,

    sweet in his unjust reproaches, who became the healer, the physician.
