1. سمِيَّ خليل الله لا زلتَ مثله

    يُعيذُك من كيد العداة مُعيذُهُ

    O namesake of God's Friend, may you always be like him;

    may his Protector shield you from the guile of foes.

  2. نجوت كمَنْجَاهُ كما اسمُك كاسمِه

    فأنت نَقيذُ الله وهو نقيذُهُ

    You escaped as he escaped, just as your name is like his;

    so you are one delivered by God, and so is he.

  3. تشابهتما هَدْياً فأنت محبّبٌ

    لذيذُ مذاقِ الذِّكْر وهو لذيذُهُ

    You two are alike in conduct: you are beloved,

    sweet in the savor of remembrance, and so is he.

  4. كما اشتبه النُّمروذ والحائن الذي

    سيَتْبعه والبغيُ جمٌّ وقيذُهُ

    Just as Nimrod resembled the doomed man who

    will follow him—and many are those laid low by wrongdoing.

  5. تخذت من المعروف درعاً حصينة

    وقتْك من الطاغي وأنت أخيذُهُ

    You fashioned from good deeds an impregnable coat of mail,

    which guarded you from the tyrant while you were his captive.
