1. فَلَو كانَ لِلشُّكر شَخص يبين

    إِذا ما تَأَمّله الناظِرُ

    So if gratitude had a form that could be discerned

    when the beholder contemplated it,

  2. لمثّلتُه لك حَتّى تَراهُ

    فتعلَمَ أَني اِمرؤ شاكِرُ

    I would depict it for you so that you could see it

    and thus know that I am a grateful man.
