1. O Noble One whose kindness has always
Encircled the necks of Arab and foreigner alike,
١. يا كَريماً لَمْ يَزَلْ مَعْرُوفُهُ
طَوقَ عُنقِ العَربِي والعَجَمِي
2. Though my home lies barren, send to it
A little of the rain from your generous clouds.
٢. إنَّ بَيتي مُقْفِرٌ فَابعثْ لَهُ
بِقَليلٍ من أَشَار السَّلجَمِ
