1. يا مليكاً يجبر قصَّادهُ

    جبراً له الله مكافٍ عليه

    O king who brings relief to those who seek him,

    A relief for which God will reward him.

  2. شكراً لها في الجودِ مخفية

    يبسط ضيف الباب فيها يديه

    Thanks for it—a gift concealed in generosity;

    The guest at the door stretches out both his hands within it.

  3. إذا أتته وهوَ في صحبهِ

    صارَ مضافاً ومضافاً إليه

    When it comes to him while he is among his companions,

    He becomes both a guest and a host—both annexed and annexed-to.
