1. بَعَثتُ بِالمُرسِل اِنبِساطا

    مِنّي عَلى خَلقِك الجَميلِ

    I sent with the messenger, in friendly confidence,

    relying, for my part, on your fine character,

  2. نَزراً حَقيراً فَفيه يأتي

    فَضلُكَ في العُذر وَالقَبولِ

    a small, paltry gift; in this is revealed

    your generosity in pardon and acceptance.

  3. لَو أَنَّهُ مُهجَتي لَكانَت

    تَصغُر في قَدرِكَ الجَليلِ

    Were it my very lifeblood, it would still

    be small beside your exalted worth.
