1. Jacob's dignity and reverence
For bread has become visible and heard
١. أصبح يعقوب وتبجيله
للخبز مرئيٌّ ومسموعُ
2. Its loaf in the worth of a dinar
Is imprinted on that road
٢. رغيفه في قدر ديناره
بتلكم السكة مطبوعُ
3. Rather the verse of the throne is written
So it is forbidden throughout time
٣. بل آية الكرسي مكتوبة
فهو طوال الدهر ممنوع
4. No guest complains to him of meagerness
But hunger kills him
٤. لا يشتكي ضيفٌ له كِظَّةً
لكنه يقتله الجوع
