1. أقولَ وخيرُ القَولِ مالا يشوبُهُ

    رياءٌ وخيرُ النَّاس مَنْ هُوَ صادِقُ

    I say—and the best speech is that which is not tainted

    by ostentation, and the best of people is one who is truthful.

  2. تركَّبَ مِن شُكْري وبِرِّك صورَةٌ

    فبِرُّك بي حَيُّ وشُكريَ ناطِقُ

    A form was composed of my gratitude and your kindness;

    so your kindness to me is alive, and my gratitude speaks.
