1. وَكُلُّ كِتابٍ لي إلى مَن بِأَرْضِها

    سَلامي عَلَيْكُمْ فِيهِ قَبْلَ خِطابهِ

    And every letter of mine to anyone in her land

    Bears my greeting to you before its message.

  2. وَذِكْرُ كُمُ لي في أَواخِرِ كُتْبِكُمْ

    كَمَا يَجِلِسُ المحَقُورُ حَيْثُ انتَهى بهِ

    And your mention of me comes at the ends of your letters,

    Just as the scorned man sits wherever he ends up.
