1. عشقتُ الجودَ جدًّا فهو طبعُكْ

    وبُسْتُ ترابَ بستٍ فهيَ ربعُكْ

    I fell deeply in love with generosity, for it is your nature.

    And I kissed the soil of Bust, for it is your abode.

  2. وليس يريدُ هذا الدهرُ حَصْدِي

    لأنِّي في بني الآدابِ زرعُكْ

    And this age does not wish to reap me,

    Because among the men of letters I am your crop.
