1. The Caliph's heart is wakeful, stripping it
Of what would please, of duty's thoughtful care;
١. قَلْبُ الخليفةِ يَقْظانٌ يُجرّدُهُ
ممَّا يَعافُ الرِّضَى من واجبِ النَّظَرِ
2. A conqueror deputed in his land,
Victorious rival of his worldly share.
٢. مُظَفَّرٌ نائبٌ في أرضِ واقِفِهِ
مُبارِزٌ غالِبٌ دُنياهُ بالظَّفَرِ
