جَزَى اللَّهُ عَنِّي ابنَ الغنيَّةِ ضعفَ مَا

جَزَى مُحْسنٌ من خَلْقِهِ بِفِعَالِهِ

May God reward the son of al-Ghunna doubly for what

He rewarded any benefactor among His creation for his deeds

لَعَمْري لَقَدْ أوْلَى الجَميلَ تَبَرُّعاً

وبَادَرَ بالمَعْروفِ بَعدَ سُؤَالِهِ

By my life, he anticipated generosity voluntarily

And took the initiative of kindness after being asked

وأغرَبُ ما لاقَيتُهُ مِنهُ بَعثُهُ

إليَّ بِجسمِ الشَّنفَرَى بعد خَالِهِ

And the strangest thing I received from him was his sending

me the body of al-Shanfara after his uncle
