1. O sea of knowledge, in your excellence all virtues acknowledge
With the admission of he who submits
١. يا بَحرَ عِلمٍ لَهُ في فَضلِهِ اِعتَرَفَت
كُلُّ الأَفاضِلِ مَع إِذعانِ مُعترفِ
2. So give me your right hand that I may kiss it
For to kiss a hand like yours is an honor to me
٢. فَأَعطِني كَفَّكَ اليُمنى لِأَلثِمَها
فَكفّ مِثلكَ تَقبيلي لَها شَرَفي
