1. جِئتُ بِلا حُرمَةٍ وَلا سَبَبِ

    إِلَيكَ إِلّا بِحُرمَةِ الأَدَبِ

    I have come with neither a claim nor a connection,

    To you, save the claim of letters.

  2. فَاِقضِ ذِمامي فَإِنَّني رَجُلٌ

    غَيرُ مُلِحٍّ عَلَيكَ في الطَلَبِ

    So grant me my due, for I am a man

    Who does not press you insistently with requests.
