وَمَن لَم يُرد مَدحي فَإِنَّ قَصائِدي

نَوافِقُ عِندَ الأَكرَمينَ سَوامِ

And he who does not want my praise, well then my poems

Accord with the generous wherever they go.

نَوافِقُ عِندَ المُشتَري الحَمدَ بِالنَدى

نِفاقَ بَناتِ الحارِثِ بنِ هِشامِ

They accord wherever one buys praise with grace,

Like the giving of the daughters of Hisham.
