لا تُهادِ القُضاةُ كَي تَظلِمَ الخَ

صمَ وَلا تَذكُرَنَّ ماتُهديهِ

Do not give gifts to judges, that they may wrong the adversary

Nor mention the presents you give;

إِنَّ مِن أَقبَحِ المَعايِبِ عاراً

أَن يَمُنَّ الفَتى بِما يُسديهِ

It is most disgraceful and shameful

That a man be reminded of the favours he does.
