1. كفاني المهماتِ عبدُ الغنيّ

    وذلك مِنْ بَعض أَفضالِهِ

    Abd al-Ghani has relieved me of my burdens,

    And that is but part of his favors.

  2. فإنْ نِلْتُ مالاً فمن جاهِهِ

    وإنْ نِلْتُ جاهاً فمن مالِهِ

    So if I have gained wealth, it is through his standing,

    And if I have gained standing, it is through his wealth.
