1. أَبَا مُنذرٍ جازيتَ بِالوِدِّ سُخطةً

    فَمَاذا جَزاءُ المُبغِضِ المتَبَغِّضِ

    O Abu Mundhir, you repaid affection with displeasure.

    What, then, is the reward of one who hates and makes himself hated?

  2. فجازَيَتهُ في ذا المِثَالِ كَرامَةً

    ولَستَ لِشَيءٍ بَعدُ بِالُمتعَرِّضِ

    So, following this pattern, you repaid him with honor,

    and you will expose yourself to nothing thereafter.
