1. Though I had not seen his generous right hand
And were told of its excess, I’d call it lies,
١. ولو لمْ أشاهدْ منهُ جودَ يمينِه
وحُدِّثْتُ عن إفراطِها خِلتُه كِذْبا
2. We’ve seen in him illustrious qualities
The East exalts them, no West denies,
٢. خِصالاً رأيناها نجوماً مُنيرةً
عُلاهُ لها شرقٌ فلا عدِمَتْ غربا
3. His noble deeds have spoken clear to me
I found in them good family and space
٣. وقد نطقَتْ بالفعلِ لي عرَصاتُه
لأني وجدتُ الأهل فيهنّ والرّحْبا
