1. رحيبُ رِواقِ الحلِمِ يكفي اعتذارُهُ

    إلى المذنب الجاني اختلاقَ المعاذِرِ

    His forbearance has a spacious portico; his apology spares

    The guilty offender the need to invent excuses.

  2. فليس وحاشاهُ لإحسانِ محُسنٍ

    بِناسٍ ولا للمحفظاتِ بذاكرِ

    For he never—far be it from him—lets a benefactor’s kindness

    Be forgotten, nor does he remember provocations.
