1. Fulfilling your promise with the dagger is noble,
Your overflowing generosity with it is undeniable.
١. إِنجازُ وَعدِكَ في السِكّينِ مَكرُمَةٌ
غَرّاءُ فَضلُكَ فيها غَيرُ مَجحودِ
2. Do well by the bright blue amidst the crackled white,
It has belts of white and of black.
٢. أَحسِن بِهِ أَزرَقاً في أَبيَضٍ يَقَقٍ
لَهُ مَناطِقُ مِن بيضٍ وَمِن سودِ
3. Breaking a threat is praiseworthy, it is not blamed,
And breaking a promise was never commended.
٣. خُلفُ الوَعيدِ حَميدٌ لا يُذَمُّ بِهِ
وَلَم يَكُن خُلفُ مَوعودٍ بِمَحمودِ
