مِن أَدَبِ الكاتِبِ تَرجيعُ ما

طالَعَ قَبلَ طَلَبِ الطالِبِ

From the writer's courtesy, return what

The seeker saw before the seeker's plea

فاِمنُن بِهِ وَاِنهَج بِهِ غَيرَهُ

وَحاشا تَنسى أَدَبَ الكاتِبِ

So favor him with it, and guide another by it

Far be it you forget the writer's courtesy
