1. لو كانَ غيرك مخدوماً ألوذ به

    لكانَ حالي على ما أشتهي حالي

    Had someone other than you been the patron I turned to for refuge,

    My condition would have been just as I wished it to be;

  2. ولا هجيت فلا أمسيت مفتقراً

    وباركَ الله في عرضِي وفي مالي

    You would not have been lampooned, and I would not have ended up destitute,

    And God would have blessed my honor and my wealth.
