1. لا تَنكُرَنَّ إِذا أَهدَيتُ نَحوَكَ مِن

    عُلومِكَ الغُرَّ أَو آدابِكَ النُتَفا

    Do not think it strange if I offer you, from

    your learning, choice pieces, or from your literary lore, fragments;

  2. فَقيِّمُ الباغِ قَد يُهدي لِصاحِبِهِ

    بِرَسمِ خِدمَتِهِ مِن باغِهِ التُحَفا

    for the garden's keeper may offer its owner

    gifts from his garden as a token of his service.
