1. أمين العلى والعلم دعوة ناشئٍ

    ببيتك تلقى حيثما كانَ فضله

    O guardian of glory and learning, hear the plea of one raised

    In your household, who received its bounty wherever he was.

  2. أبوك بأرضِ الشام أصل إقامتي

    فأكرم مقاماً كانَ أصلك أصله

    Your father is the foundation of my stay in the land of Syria;

    So honor a dwelling whose foundation was your own forebear.
