1. I called upon Muhammad for one of the ladies
But he turned away from me, blaming and offended
١. دَعَوتُ لإِحدى النائِباتِ مُحَمَّدا
فَأَعرض عَنّي جانِباً وَتجَرّما
2. And many a man I called upon in adversity
Yet I found him, because of it, greater and nobler
٢. وَرُبّ اِمرئ نادَيتُ عِند مُلِمَّة
فَأَلفَيتُهُ مِنها أَجَلَّ وَأَعظَما
