1. A generous man, none can match him, his like is nowhere to be found
As if before him no generous and glorious men ever did abound
١. كَريمٌ مُضاهيهِ عَديمٌ وُجوده
كَأَن لَم يَكُن قبلُ الكرامُ الأماجدُ
2. Nor have I in praising him singled him out alone through time
But in generosity and glory he stands peerless, sublime
٢. وَما كُنت في مَدحي لَهُ الدّهرَ واحِداً
وَلَكِنّهُ في الجودِ وَالمَجدِ واحدُ
