1. My friend saw this minister and said to me
Look at his qualities and describe to me his state
١. رَأى صاحِبي هذا الوَزير فَقالَ لي
تَأَمّل مَزاياهُ وَصف لي أَحوالُه
2. So I said "Minister" then I shouted his name
And wished for him to live and attain his hopes
٢. فَقُلتُ وَزير ثُم صَرَّخت بِاِسمِه
وَأَرَّختُه يَحيا وَيَبلُغ آمالُه
