لعمري لقد أملى ثمار علومه

علينا وأهداها الكبير المصدّر

By my life, he has bestowed upon us

The fruits of his knowledge, the great benefactor

وقد كانَ يملي مثلها ابن وكيلها

ولكنَّ هذا الصدر أملى وأكبر

And his son, the deputy, used to bestow the like,

But this man's breast has given more and is greater
