بعتم لنا باللف ما طاب نشره

بديعا به يحلو لشعري التغزل

You sent us openly what is unsavory to publish

Artfully clothed in a sweet guise for my amorous verse

فقابلته بالبشر مني والرضا

ومهما اتى منكم على الرأي يحمل

I met it with good cheer and acceptance from me

And whatever comes from you I bear with good will
