1. I have preserved for the learned their affairs,
And stood as a servant to the virtuous.
١. حفظت لأصحاب العلوم شؤونهم
وقمت لأرباب الفضائل خادما
2. It is my right that I boast or call a chronicler,
To the duties of the law I have become dedicated.
٢. فلي أن أباهي أو أنادي مؤرخا
بواجب آل الشرع أصبحت قائما
