1. أتيتُ مسلماً ومن الرجاله

    أَقول مودعاً خوف الثقاله

    I came offering greetings; and it is a mark of manliness

    To bid farewell for fear of being burdensome.

  2. فإن ترضى الوداع شكرت نفسي

    والا يرتضيه فشكرها له

    If you approve of the farewell, I thank myself;

    And if he does not approve of it, my soul’s thanks go to him.
