1. Greetings, O bearer of necklaces and anklets
You have revived a passionate heart by your greeting

2. The generous one has honored me with a message
That can be ransomed for any female confidant

3. That complete scholar, the flag of knowledge
Whose traits point to the described

4. And his enduring magnificent glory suffices me
A glory that meets the edge of a sword

5. The composer strings together precious pearls
That appear from under the paper's cover

6. O garden of knowledge from which
Intellects pick the lowest hanging fruits

7. You have gifted me with praise that has drowned me
In an ocean of virtue that was not meager

8. The favor of your generosity has burdened me
With a task too heavy for my feeble resolve

9. And the recompense of noble men is secured
From their forbearance of criticism

10. And the hallmark of skilled men of wisdom
Is overlooking the faults of the weak
