1. جَزَيتُ اِبنَ مَنصورٍ عَلى نَأيِ دارِه

    جَزاءَ مُقِرٍّ بِالصَنيعَةِ شاكِرِ

    I repaid Ibn Mansur, despite the remoteness of his home,

    With the recompense of one who gratefully acknowledges a kindness.

  2. فَتىً راغَمَ الأَموالَ وَاِصطَنَعَ العُلى

    وَأَرَّثَ نيرانُ النَدى لِلعَشائِرِ

    A young man who spurned wealth and cultivated greatness,

    And kindled the fires of generosity for the clans.

  3. تَرى الناسَ أَرسالاً لَدَيهِ بَوادِراً

    عَلى آمِنٍ يَحدو بِهِ حِملُ صادِرِ

    You see people in successive bands, hastening to him,

    Confident, spurred onward by a departing visitor’s load.
