1. إن الجواد الذي يعطي ويذكر ما

    أعطى ليجعل ذا الحاجات يقصدُهُ

    Indeed, the generous man who gives and mentions what

    he gave, to make the man in need seek him,

  2. لكالمتيم يشكو حبَّ فاتِنِهِ

    إلى العذول ليدنيه فيبعدُهُ

    is like a lovesick man lamenting his love for his enchanter

    to the reproacher, to draw him near—but he drives him away.
